Meet the Assistant Residency Artistic Director – Lauren O’Brien
Lauren O’Brien grew up in New Jersey and started her dance training at a local dance studio at a young age. She graduated from Montclair State University in 2018 with her BFA in Dance Performance and a minor in Communication Studies and performed works by Alwin Nikolai, Stacey Tookey, Mark Morris, Christian Von Howard, Frederick Earl Mosley, and many more. Lauren recently moved to New Mexico after being introduced to NDI New Mexico’s Teaching Excellence program in the Summer of 2021 and spent the past year as a Residency Artistic Associate, teaching children across the state. Lauren is beyond excited to be continuing her work with NDI New Mexico as their new Residency Assistant Artistic Director!
