MEET YOUR 2021 EMERGING CHOREOGRAPHER, HALEY TARLING
|
Haley is a dancer, choreographer and teacher located in Chicago, IL. She is a graduate of Point Park University with a BFA in dance and a BA in psychology. While at Point Park, she worked with and learned from individuals including Kiki Lucas, Maree ReMalia, Jason McDole, Pearlann Porter and Kiesha Lalama. In addition, in 2019 she had the opportunity to perform a work by Caili Quan through DanceWorks Chicago’s ChoreoLab. Her earlier training consisted of dancing as a member of Extensions Dance Company, under the direction of Lizzie MacKenzie, where she also worked with artists such as Eddy Ocampo, Christian Denice, Garth Johnson and Sean Rozanski. Most recently, she has had the opportunity to dance in two music videos for the band Course, choreographed by Lizzie MacKenzie and then Jackie Nowicki, as well as a video project with Sydney Jones for Inaside’s Emerging Choreographer Competition. From numerous opportunities to create and explore her own capabilities as a choreographer, she has found that she has a true passion for creating work. Her work strives to embody expansion, authenticity and grit, while telling stories that reflect human experience through the metaphor of intellectual ideas.
