About Caroline…

Caroline Burkhart is a New York City based director, choreographer, performer, and teacher known for her goofiness and grace. She holds a BA in Liberal Arts from Sarah Lawrence College with concentrations in Theatre, Dance & Philosophy.

Caroline has performed in several new works across New York City, at Target Margin Theater, Theater for the New City, The Brick Theater, and MoMA PS1. Most recently, Caroline has performed in new works by SMPL MCHN, the after-image and LOCAL GRANDMA.

In Caroline’s original work, she explores the intersections of dance and theatre through child-like actions, mannerisms, memories, anxieties, and materials. A big lover of devised processes and clowning, her work is often rooted in collaboration and guided by performers’ unique physicality and expression. Caroline has presented original work at La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club, The Brick Theater, and Movement Research. Most recently, her original dance-theatre piece, Nuclear Family, premiered at The Brick Theater’s ?!:New Works Festival in August 2023.

As a teacher, Caroline regularly teaches theatre and dance with WR Arts and storytelling with The Moth. Caroline has also taught with New Genesis Productions, Barnard College, and Brooklyn Robot Foundry.
