Rylee Moore (any pronouns) is a queer dance artist, somatic experiencing practitioner, licensed massage therapist and teacher currently based in Missoula, MT. Their choreographic work explores the internal experience of the performer(s), relational dynamics, and plays with expectations and boundaries. Rylee’s work is deeply human, alive and is concerned with the deeply specific, personal and intimate translated to a performance space.
Rylee has trained at London Contemporary Dance School, UNC School of the Arts, and most recently the University of Montana. They have performed in alternative club spaces, site specific performance protest work, and on various stages in Montana, North Carolina and London. Most recently they have worked with Laurel Sears in her evening length work: RECEIVE, a dance for the wild, and on a collaborative improvisational duet titled: Note to Self, both premiering at WestSide Theatre.
Rylee has extensive Ballet and Cunningham training and in the last 10 years has dived into release-based work, flying low, floor-work, counter technique, contact improvisation and improvisation. They have been grateful to work with incredible teachers like Leila McMillan, Chisato Ohno, Kira Blazek, Rick Nodine, Brenda Daniels, Sean Sullivan, and Baptiste Bourgougnon to name a few.
They are a licensed massage therapist and a certified somatic experiencing practitioner currently in private practice. They teach healing arts workshops, community movement classes and do visual art alongside one on one healing work. They infuse their deep knowledge of anatomy, nervous system states and trauma physiology into their pedagogy and support their clients, students, collaborators and peers to have a healthy and vivacious movement and arts practice.
Queerness, accessibility and deep human connection is integral to all that Rylee does on and off the stage.
