Choreographic Work

Tammy Dyke-Compton’s choreographic practice uses dance as a form of creative research, beginning with questions about the human experience and developing through movement, musicality, storytelling, and collaboration.

Her work explores themes of human connection, relationships, identity, community, loss, joy, and the passage of time. Created with dancers at the University of Arizona School of Dance, Perry-Mansfield Performing Arts Camp, and through university performances and dance festivals, each work offers a different lens through which to consider the ways we connect with one another and the world around us.

From the evolving arc of a relationship in Morning, Noon and Night, to explorations of connection, perspective, place, and possibility in Under the Heavens and Sunnyside Up, Tammy’s choreography seeks to communicate experiences that are at once deeply personal and universally recognizable.

This collection highlights selected works from her ongoing choreographic research and a continued belief in dance’s ability to create meaningful connections between dancers, audiences, music, and movement.
