Dani Robbins (she/they) is a dance maker, educator, and community organizer. She lives and works on Passamaquoddy land in what is currently known as Downeast, Maine. Dani holds a BA in dance performance from Bennington College in Vermont and a graduate certificate in Interdisciplinary Disability Studies from the University of Maine. She was a 2023 New England Creative Community Fellow with National Art Strategies and currently teaches dance as adjunct faculty at College of the Atlantic in Bar Harbor, Maine. She has performed original dance-theater work throughout New England and Europe, and is deeply committed to a rigorous, rural art-activism practice. Dani’s work investigates interdependence, grief-joy, Queerness, effort, and mystery. She often weaves her work as a musician and visual artist into dance work through self-designed sound scores, costume and object design, and compassionate interdisciplinary collaboration. When she is not dancing and making, Dani gardens, plays punk music, swims in the ocean, and knits prolifically.
