About

In the early years, Petersen performed in works by Pat Graney and Gina Gibney, influencing her own choreographic vocabulary which is created in collaboration with the dancers, drawing from human or “pedestrian” movement and ritual. She has created movement for plays, including Letters to a Student Revolutionary  at NWAAT.

 

Petersen has been awarded grants from 4Culture King County, Seattle Arts Commission, and the Bossak/Heilbron Foundation; and residencies at the Whiteley Center at Friday Harbor on San Juan Island.
