Grace Cuny
Professional

Grace is a dance artist from Fort Worth, Texas. She began her training in ballet under the directions of Alexander Vetrov, Paul Mejia, and Maria Balogh. She danced a season with the Suzanne Farrell Ballet in Washington, D.C. before receiving her B.F.A. in Dance Performance from SMU in Dallas. Upon graduating, she moved to NYC where she worked as a freelance dancer with groups like Linked Dance Theatre and Reliant Tom. Her loves for live performance and improvisation encouraged her to explore standup and improv comedy, forming an improv troupe with members of an Upright Citizens Brigade class. In 2021 Grace moved to Ireland to pursue her M.A. in Contemporary Dance from the Irish World Academy. Since then she has toured with Liz Roche Company in her production of Yes & Yes.

Today Grace enjoys incorporating humor into her work and finds the rules of comedic improv and its general atmosphere of non-judgemental, active choices to be incredibly helpful in the choreographic process. Her curiosities include: dance as a vehicle for transformation, the tragicomic space, and the many unsung, liminal (and at times most magical) stages of life. She is excited by the idea of using personal roadblocks as raw creative material in upcoming projects.
