Elizabeth Johnson
(BFA, MFA, M.AMSAT)
Is a performer, choreographer, educator, Laban/Bartenieff Movement Analyst (GL-CMA), Certified Teacher of the Alexander Technique (M.AmSAT, ATI), Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT200), and Registered Somatic Movement Educator and Therapist (RSME/T ISMETA). She teaches and presents nationally and internationally on dance/movement and somatic pedagogies that center developmental movement, prosocial/trauma-informed education, and feminist perspectives.
Her choreographies—rooted in autobiography and her love/hate relationship with popular culture—aim to subvert cultural tropes regarding propriety, relationships, and bodies as objects/commodities. From 2004-2017 her company, Your Mother Dances, featured her choreography as well as produced national and regional guest artists; her work has been seen in New York City, Washington D.C., Chicago, Minneapolis, Milwaukee and beyond. Johnson also performed professionally with David Parker and The Bang Group (NYC), Sara Hook Dances (NYC), and Molly Rabinowitz Liquid Grip (NYC).
She is the co-author of an upcoming book from University of Illinois Press featuring a co-created movement analysis system called Framework for Integration and has authored three book chapters featuring applied Alexander Technique and developmental movement. Johnson is an Associate Professor in the School of Theatre and Dance at the University of Florida.
