About
Welcome all!
​
Chloe A. Schafer (she/her) is a dance artist, scholar, teacher, and arts administrator based in Vermont.
Her creative works are understated and whimsical; she asks the audience to lean in and pay attention to the subtle undercurrents of drama, quirk, defiance, and silliness.
Chloe’s published research investigates aging and dance: their universality, culturally-specific formations, and mobilizing potential. Central in her study is gathering oral histories from aging artists about their ongoing careers and insights into aging and performance.
As an educator, she works to cultivate a classroom of joy and possibility, a space for students to gather and grow what they need to be their most embodied and kind selves.

My artistic practice engages subtlety, sensuality, and rigor. I am interested in subverting the voyeuristic gaze expected in performance, naming performance as an exchange. I am interested in softening the edges of our collective imagination to propose alternative realities full of whimsy, focus, humor, and care.
