Dancer twisting arms to frame face

hello,

I’m pilar yvonne poeschl-ellis

I am an Austin based artist, choreographer, and dancer.

Hang out for a bit, watch some work, and get in touch for any creative ventures.

I am a choreographer

I approach choreography as a form of storytelling. I love bringing ideas to life through movement. I love collaborating with dancers to bring their perspective and styles to the work. I have shared and performed my work in Spain, New Orleans, Philadelphia, and Minneapolis.

I am a movement director

I have worked on numerous dance films and marketing campaigns. Directing movement for video is a unique and exciting challenge. I love working with videographers and creative teams who want to incorporate movement and dance to enhance their visuals and storytelling.

I am a dancer

I was classically trained in Cecchetti ballet, then went on to study contemporary dance at Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle, WA, then transferred to the University of Minnesota to double major in dance and Journalism. I have had the honor of performing works by Nora Chipaumire, Uri Sands, Kristin Sudeikis, Caroline O’Brien, Annielille Gavino, Donna Crump, Paula Mann, Frédérick Gravel, and others.

I live in Austin, TX

I have called Austin my home for nearly 3 years and love this city and its people. Prior to moving here I have lived and worked in Philadelphia, New Orleans, Montreal, Minneapolis, and Seattle.
