Katherine Helen Fisher

Emmy-nominated director, choreographer and performer Katherine Helen Fisher's work uniquely intersects dance and emerging technology, creating immersive, interactive installations which center embodied ritual within non-linear narratives. With a distinguished performance history that includes Lucinda Childs Dance Company and the Philip Glass opera "Einstein On The Beach," she has critically engaged with performativity and representation in her artistic research, blurring digital and physical boundaries. As co-founder of Safety Third, Fisher has directed significant works such as "One + One Make Three," an access-centered dance documentary, and "Le Monstre," a participatory performance garment that won a Jury Prize at the 21st International Symposium on Wearable Computers. Her work, recognized by numerous institutions, also extends to choreographing for The Data Fluencies Theater Project, a Mellon-funded, interdisciplinary collaborative project developed in partnership with CultureHub which interrogates algorithmic and AI systems and embodied experience. She has taught on faculty at The Peabody Conservatory at Johns Hopkins University. Fisher holds an MFA in dance from Sarah Lawrence College and a BFA from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts.
