Traci Finch

Traci Finch lives in New York City and currently dances with New Chamber Ballet and CelloPointe. This fall she performed in the The Suzanne Farrell Ballet: Forever Balanchine: Farewell performances at the Kennedy Center’s Opera House, and on tour. Recent projects have included guesting with Les Grands Ballet Canadiens; dancing Merce Cunningham’s Cross Currents, Inventions, Locale, and Fractions; and in Constantine Baecher’s works at Lake Tahoe Dance Festival and The Shillim Foundation. Originally from Utah, Traci graduated from Brigham Young University with her BA in Dance.

This spring Traci presented her choreography at South Oxford Space in Brooklyn, NY and at LeFrak Concert Hall in Queens with Artists by Any Other Name. Titled Interorbit, and set to Caroline Shaw’s Entr’acte played live by a string quartet, four women are set in in motion, but are continually forced to alter their paths and movements by outside binding energies.

In June 2017, Traci received her first choreographic residency at Marie Chouinard in Montréal, Quebec. Moving in Circles was a collaboration between Traci Finch and turntablist, Mark Onderwater. This exploration fused contemporary ballet with contemporary turntablism, working with choreographed phrases along with improvisational movement structures for the movement vocabulary, using parallels between the turntables as a medium for manipulating sounds and creating music, and dance. Following this, she has presented work at The Corridor Festival in Seattle, with artist, City, working more with the themes of electronic music, paired with dance. She has also presented Becherovka, choreography in collaboration with Pat Butler in Bushwick, Brooklyn. Traci teaches in Steps Youth Programs and LIC School of Ballet, and has guest taught around the United States in Utah, California, Nevada, New Jersey, and Montana.
