Brittany Harlin is an artistic director, creative consultant, and performing artist. She is a repeated resident at The Ragdale Foundation, the Founding Artistic Director of Egun Artists (Formerly Chicago Urban Dance Collective), and the 2018 recipient of the Sybil Shearer fellowship. Her influences are Hip Hop, street dance culture, Modern Dance Pioneers, and Ancestors. In addition to ensemble work, her dancing and choreography has been featured at Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, Pivot Arts Festival, Links Hall, Elastic Arts and more. Brittany’s focus is Black American Vernacular Dance, Modern, Funk Styles, Waacking, and House, combined with growing knowledge of somatics and kinesiology, all through the concert dance lens. Her goal is to bring dance education to a place of complete body awareness, spiritual expression, and connection. Brittany hopes to establish her practice in mindfulness-based expressive therapy, creating opportunities and inclusiveness for marginalized demographics and all minds.
