“I love how your choreography pushes me in ways no other ballet/choreographer does.”
Choreography
Rigorous.
Expansive.
Alive.
The work
Story first. Movement all the way through.
Maeghan creates contemporary, partner-based work that combines storytelling with athletic, full-bodied movement.
The vocabulary is grounded in strong ballet technique while moving beyond a single idea of what that technique should look like. Her work is often fast, musical, floor-based and physically demanding, with a focus on dynamics, level changes and using the entire stage.
Each work is approached as its own world. Maeghan deliberately resists repeating the same movement language from one piece to the next.

From the dancers
“You’re so clear on how it’s supposed to look and feel, so as a dancer it feels easy to build on that.”Olivia Sparling
“Fulfilling. Your dances are always full of emotion, really hard choreography, but it feels amazing to perform them.”
“I have personally always felt very strong physically, mentally and emotionally.”
Commissioning & setting work
Built for the dancers in the room.
Maeghan’s process is collaborative in attention, but clear in intention. She creates movement that showcases a dancer’s strengths while asking them to stretch beyond familiar habits and discover a larger physical range.
