Hi. I’m Matthew.
I am a dance artist currently based in Austin, Texas. That means a lot of things. I’m a teacher, choreographer, performer, watcher. I’ve done a lot of all of these things with a lot of awesome people since moving to Texas.
First, I make dances. Often my dances come from simple ideas that my childhood self dreamed up. Astronauts, Foods, Mornings, Friends. Making you fall into a world that’s something familiar but also foreign from the world we interact with every day.
I’ve been lucky to present work at Austin Dance Festival, Small Plates Dance Festival, 254 Dance Fest, and PreHeat Fest. Recently, I was lucky to present my soloat St. “Good Morning” Louis Dance Festival. Outside of festivals, I’ve made work for Sarasota Contemporary Dance, Dance Waterloo, and Spaces of Fontana.
During my time at University of South Florida, I worked with a lot of choreographers including Charles Anderson, Joshua Peaugh, Marc Brew, Alex Jones, Bliss Kohlmyer and Jeanne Travers.
Ever since moving to Austin, I’ve performed with as much of the incredible community as I can. This includes companies like Spaces of Fontana, Ventana Ballet, and KDH Dance, among many others. I have also been lucky to collaborate with many individual artists such as Andrew Schneider and Annie Saunders, Marilyn Connely, Anna Bauer, and Laney Phillips. There is a whole lot more that you can check out on my CV if you really want to.
I love dance. A whole lot. It’s what keeps me going on this planet we call Earth. I also love my incredible husband Joe, our amazing dogs Jasper and Cooper, and the city that I get to call home, Austin. I am always looking forward to meeting new people. Please reach out. I want to collaborate with as many artists as I can.
