Dorchel Haqq (she/her) has, throughout her journey, developed movement practices that induce an imaginative world. She is interested in creating worlds people can immerse themselves in, energetically and holistically. She is the cofounder of LLAB, an multimedium arts collective that creates through collaboration with a focus of care. She is interested in the action of now by exploring fantasy and abstracting the echo of transgenerational trauma in her body of culture through film, sound exploration, and object investigations. Her recent choreographic works, tenderheaded, honorarium of Battery Dance Festival, and BLACKDIAMOND, commissioned by the Conservatory of Dance at Purchase College SUNY, illuminates these ideals. Raised in Harlem, she began to ignite and embody history at Dance Theater of Harlem. With experience from Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Performing Arts then at the Conservatory of Dance at Purchase College, SUNY, she initiated her discovery of the body as a political statement. She is a Springboard-curated recipient of Jonah Bokaer Arts Foundation AIR Founder’s Residency and a 2021 City Artist Corps Grant recipient. She is an adjunct lecturer at Purchase College and Montclair State University. She joined A.I.M by Kyle Abraham from 2020-2022 and performed in Punchdrunk’s Sleep No More in Shanghai from 2022-2023.
