Lauren Linder (she/her) is a choreographer, educator, and writer based in Iowa City, IA. Lauren’s choreography mines the space between the dancing body and the writing body. Through attention to softness, syntax, play, and gesture, Lauren’s work problematizes hierarchies of movement and traces relational ambiguities. Prior to relocating to Iowa, Lauren danced in Seattle, WA.

Lauren is an MFA candidate in Dance on the choreography track at the University of Iowa. Lauren also holds an MA in Multilingual Education, a B.F.A. in Dance and a B.A. in Spanish from the University of Iowa.
