Speaker Information

Called "a potent choreographic voice" by the New York Times, Ms. Leslie Cuyjet is the recipient of a 2019 New York Dance and Performance “Bessie” Award for her sustained achievement as Outstanding Performer and a 2022 award for Outstanding Choreographer/Creator. According to Cuyjet, her choreography "aims to conjure life-long questions of identity, confuse and disrupt traditional narratives, and demonstrate the angsty, explosive, sensitive, pioneering excellence of the Black woman."
