Rachel Meyer - Lead Artist

Rachel Meyer is a Vancouver-based choreographer, performer, and Artistic Director of Autobody. Her choreographic practice builds a complete and complex universe for her audience to inhabit through a multitude of devices acting in concert: casting, sets, musical composition, timing, and symbolic iconography. 

Meyer trained at St. Louis Ballet, the University of Utah, the Northwest Professional Dance Project, and the San Francisco Conservatory of Dance. She has performed as a member of Dominic Walsh Dance Theater, Ballet BC, and the Michael Clark Company. She received a Princess Grace Award in 2010. 

Since 2017, Meyer has focused on developing her own choreographic practice, creating full-length site-specific works and commissioned projects for Ballet Edmonton and the EDAM Choreographic Series. She has been a Resident Artist at Left of Main and a Ballet BC Artist in Residence. As Artistic Director of Autobody she is developing a long-term interdisciplinary artistic program.
