TRIBE | Performer, Dramaturge
Ashley Pierre-Louis is originally from Miami, FL. For high school, she attended New World School of the Arts and continued her education at Florida State University, where she earned her BFA in Dance. Now based in New York City, she is a dance artist, choreographer, producer, educator, and cook, whose practice centers pleasure through dancing, communal gathering, and food.
Through her creative work, Ashley invites both herself and audiences to imagine their deepest, strongest, and richest expressions of the self, asking how we might share these collectively to cultivate freedom in both mind and body. She is a performer and creator with Shamel Pitts’ multidisciplinary arts collective TRIBE, and plays a vital role in arts leadership as the Associate Producer at Performance Space New York (PS122) and Dream Partner/Program Manager for Florida State University’s Arts in NYC program.
