John T. Cartwright's eyes peek out behind falling confetti.

John T. Cartwright – interdisciplinary performance artist, intermedia dance maker, and movement educator 

A dancer in a grey, sheer dress stares intensely at the audience, her image reflected in the mirror behind her.

Produced Dance Works

My work intertwines movement, media, and memory to create immersive experiences that explore queer temporality, embodied history, and the intersections of humanity and science.

A dancer bends back wildly, arms flailing, with a kazoo in her mouth.

Works in Progress

My creative process is an embodied investigation that weaves together improvisation, humor, scholarly research and interdisciplinary collaboration.

A performer is covered in confetti, they gaze downward with their head poking through; their arms are reached to the side also poking through the confetti.

Interdisciplinary Experiments

I experiment interdisciplinary by merging practices from dance, theatre, music, and the visual arts with video and digital technologies to expand the possibilities of performance.
