About the Artist

Colby Calhoun (they/she) is a biracial non-binary trans femme dance theater artist and advocate for those whom existence is also often resistance. Colby is currently based in Philadelphia, coming from Dallas, TX, and holds space in her heart for her sordid love/hate relationship with the lone-star state. Colby is grateful to create ensemble work with performance collective Very Good Dance Theater - founded in 2018 in response to a need for QTBIPOC-centered work in Dallas, Texas, and the South at large. VGDT credits/awards include: BIPOC NWT recipient at Cannonball Festival (Philadelphia, PA), AMOC Arist-In-Residence Alumni (Oak Cliff, TX), and Dallas Observer's Best Dance Company in 2023. Colby's work is forever influenced by nostalgia (she's a triple cancer), dreaming (she's also a double sagg), and ... other stuff (she has ADHD). Her work centers around the visceral experience(s) of being together and plays with the meaning of relationship(s), always seeking to explore and experiment with the structures that impose oppression over exxxpresion, in hopes to inspire people to communicate, collaborate, and collectivize.
