“Exhilaratingly athletic and keenly original.” — The Utah Review
Utah-based choreographer and interdisciplinary artist Kellie St. Pierre creates immersive dance experiences that transform movement into vivid visual storytelling around socially relevant themes. A 2025 Palm Desert Choreography Festival Grand Prize winner, St. Pierre has earned recognition for works that highlight the kinesthetic and emotive interplay between humans, the environment, technology, and objects. She invites dancers and audiences into tactile worlds that shift perspective, research risk, and communicate on many levels.
St. Pierre will develop a new work for the Stage Door Series commission, welcoming audiences to participate in a layered experience where projection, moving surfaces, and dance merge the body with the environment, highlighting the relationship between place, identity, and connection. Featuring five local dance collaborators, musicians, and production collaborators, the evening aims to provide a high-production-scale experience that enriches Salt Lake City’s multidisciplinary scene. Intimate, thought-provoking, and visually captivating, this new work showcases one of Utah’s voices in contemporary dance.
St. Pierre has been awarded the Pacific Monticello Emerging Choreographer through Regional Dance America. Recent commissions include Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company, Ballet Conservatory of San Antonio, SALT LINK Audition Festival, Ching Ching Wong, 801 Salon, loveDANCEmore, and several universities. As a performer, she danced for Donald McKayle’s Etude Ensemble and spent five seasons touring internationally with DIAVOLO | Architecture in Motion, during which the company was featured on America’s Got Talent, Season 12.
As a screendance artist, St. Pierre’s films have been recognized by the Women in Dance Leadership Conference in Los Angeles, Dance Film Festival in Yokohama, Japan, Cinedanza International Festival, For This Earth Screendance Festival, and Utah International Dance Film Festival.
St. Pierre is currently on faculty at the University of Utah, continuing the education of dance as art and life. She received her Master of Fine Arts in Dance and Screendance from the University of Utah in 2023 and a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of California, Irvine.
