ABOUT THE ARTIST

Dorchel Haqq, raised in Harlem, began to embody history at the Dance Theater of Harlem. With an education from Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Performing Arts then later at the Conservatory of Dance at SUNY Purchase College, Haqq initiated her discovery of the body as a political statement. While studying at Purchase College, Haqq’s education expanded at Korea National School of the Arts. The development of Haqq’s movement practices induces an imaginative world focusing on the care of the nervous system. Haqq explores fantasy and abstracts the echo of transgenerational trauma in her body of culture through film, sound exploration, and object investigation. These explorations were made possible through the Springboard-curated Jonah Bokaer Arts Foundation Founder’s Residency, Gallim’s Moving Women AIR, Leimay’s Incubation AIR, a City Artist Corps grant, and Foundation for Contemporary Arts emergency grant. Haqq is an adjunct lecturer at Purchase College. Haqq performed with AIM by Kyle Abraham for two years before immersing in Punchdrunk’s Sleep No More in Shanghai. Haqq expanded her sensory research in 2024 as an AiR at CPR – Center for Performance Research and Baryshnikov Arts Center. Haqq is currently a guest artist in Emursive Theater’s Life And Trust and a 2025 Movement Research Van Lier Artist of Color Fellow.
