Maggie Zepp (b. 1990) is a Minneapolis-based choreographer and dancer whose work draws from personal history, dance training, and a lifelong preoccupation with performance. Her dances consider how we learn to look at dance, how we make meaning of what we see, and how our histories shape our expectations of dance.

Her work strives toward formal composure, theatricality, and humor. She is most captivated by dance when it feels like a problem she can’t solve and most interested in the strange relationship between a dancer and the people watching. Her work comes from a deep attachment to dance: its histories, rituals, absurdities, and the unreasonable amount of importance she continues to assign to it.
