Sara Smith is a transdisciplinary choreographer and librarian whose practice is rooted in embodied and archival research. Sara creates performances and other works that explore concepts of interconnection and the poetics and politics of sensory micro-attention and relational transformation.
Sara's artworks have been seen and heard in theaters, museums, studios, public parks, recreation center basements, and cloud-based platforms. They have been a recipient of the Massachusetts Cultural Council Fellowship award in Choreography, and of support from The LEF Foundation, Maine Arts Commission, NEFA, the Puffin Foundation, and residency fellowships from MacDowell, Yaddo, Hewnoaks, and The American Antiquarian Society. From 2010-2017 Sara edited KINEBAGO, a forum for writing by and about New England dance makers and movement researchers. Since 2013, Sara has been the Arts & Humanities Librarian at Amherst College.
