Institution/Business Type: Artist / Creative (Individual)

Erin McNulty is a NH-based contemporary dance artist and educator. Her movement is deeply rooted in improvisational research, and balances intimacy with her own blend of physicality and choreological understanding. Often using text-based processes, McNulty's work exists where language intersects with sensory dynamism. She is currently working towards her MFA in Interdisciplinary Arts at Goddard College (2022-2024).

McNulty holds a B.S. from Boston University’s College of Communication (Magna Cum Laude); and a Postgraduate Diploma in Community Dance from Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music & Dance in London (Distinction), where she was the recipient of the Audrey Wethered Award. She has also trained at the Gaga Summer Intensive at Mark Morris Dance Center in New York.

McNulty has been a company dancer with Kairos Dance Theater (Principal, 2011-2015) and Natalie Johnson Dance (2020-2021), and also performed with Rachel Linsky, Eliza Malecki Dance, Zoe Dance Company, Kelley Donovan & Dancers, Bethan Peters, and Paula Josa Jones/Performance Works. As a creator, her project-based choreographic work has been produced by ChoreoLab at The Junction Dance Festival, Trinity Laban, ArtBeat, Providence Dance Festival, Dance for World Community, NACHMO, Salem Arts Festival, Providence College Dance Company, and Third Life Studio Choreographer Series. McNulty has also choreographed two short dance films with institutional support from the City of Boston, New England Foundation for the Arts, and the Shawna Shea Memorial Foundation Women in Film Fellowship. Her 2020 dance film collaboration with dance artist Suzannah Dessau, Floodstream, was selected for the Vermont Dance Alliance's Dance on Film Festival (VT), Essence of Embodiment at Smush Gallery (NJ), Artists for Hope Dance Film Festival (TX), Prague International Monthly Film Festival (Czech Rep.), and Cross Move Lab's Anyplace Anytime Dance Film Festival (NY).

A dedicated educator and community practitioner, McNulty is currently on dance faculty at Boston University, Lebanon Ballet School, and Wilmington Dance Academy. She additionally served as Instructional Coach/Research Specialist and Lead Teaching Artist with Boston Ballet's Education & Community Initiatives team for six years until 2022. She is a passionate advocate for student-centered pedagogy and cultural relevancy alongside technical rigor.
