Kathryn Schetlick

Kathryn Schetlick is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Dance at the University of Virginia. Her work interrogates static, singular notions of 'the human' and 'the body' through embodied learning, collaborative scholarship, and movement-based praxis. As an educator and artist, she explores how theatrical spaces—architectural, historical, and affective—shape understandings of humanity.

• Education: MFA in Dance (Hollins University), MA in Performance Studies (NYU Tisch), BFA in Dance with Anthropology minor (Ailey/Fordham)
• Collaborations: Zena Bibler, nonhumanities collective (Conrad Cheung, Anna Hogg)
• Presentations: Brazil, Egypt, Poland, Amsterdam, and multiple U.S. cities

Her creative practice spans installations, movement scores, site-responsive performances, and ballet instruction through courses like Dance and Culture and How Dance Matters.
