Esther m Palmer is exploring how performance heightens philosophical connections between people. She founded Seen Performance to help define this process through cross-disciplinary collaboration.

Esther received her MFA in Dance and Technology from The Ohio State University where she developed an approach to creating performance through methodologies borrowed from disciplines outside dance. She fell in love with the idea of dance as a broader art from through improvisation, which was introduced to her as a method of performed composition by Penny Campbell (at Middlebury College). Esther carries this spirit of improvisation through all of her performances, relying on each specific situation to feed choices.

Esther has performed and presented work in Chicago, Columbus, and New York.

She recently started a blog with studio-based + experimental work, here. Go see it!
