Urban Camouflage
The Artist Revealed
Hunter Sturgis is a Queer Tejano dance artist based in Brooklyn, New York by way of the Rio Grande Valley.
Sturgis approaches dance as a bridge between the body and the cosmos, a gateway that dissolves and blurs the lines between space, being, memory, and perspective; the art of bending time and gravity in service of telling stories.
Why tell stories?
Storytelling is how people come together and heal, shift consciousness, expand our imaginations and move forward.
Sturgis believes that Dance is a part of the equation for humanity's collective liberation, that the body never lies and is always communicating with us and the world, that our very nervous systems are ancestral gateways tapping into a genetically encoded lineage of embodied and situated knowingness and wisdom.
In other words, a built in guardian angel.
Hunter has presented his choreographic works at various locations in NYC including Triskelion Arts, The Bronx Academy of Arts and Dance, Arts On Site, and Spoke The Hub.
Over the years Sturgis has had the opportunity to work on a number of solo and collaborative projects ranging from film, to concert dance, music videos, museums, choreography, movement direction for stage and film and more.
As an artist, Hunter is called to make work about subject matter that moves him in to a state of action and urgency.
