Amy Walker O'Brien- Amy's choreography has been presented at the Schwartz Center at Cornell University, ACDFA, Ithaca College, and the Hangar Theatre.  She is a former member of The Washington Ballet under the Artistic Direction of Mary Day, and she has performed with the Zig Zag Ballet, Bernier Dance Company, and Ballet Etudes. She is interested in how ballet dancers can deconstruct their technique and begin to listen to the "self" and the "space" to create work that is their own. Amy is an Assistant Professor of Dance at Ithaca College and holds a BFA from SUNY Purchase and an MFA from Montclair State University.
