Erin Malley is a choreographer and performer in the fields of modern dance, tango, and physical theater. Originally from Kalamazoo, Michigan, she relocated to New York in 2004. Her work has been shown in New York in the Dancenow festival at Joe’s Pub, in two installments of chashama's Windows project and at chashama's 2006 OASIS festival. She has also shown work of her own in Toulouse, France; Toronto, Canada; and her modern teacher in college, Nina Nelson, danced her favorite solo (Poem for a Woman) at a festival in the Czech Republic. Erin has also shown work in Michigan for what seems like an eternity.

Her alltime favorite performance experiences have been in:

• no alarms:headfullofradio at the Collective:Unconscious Theater in Tribeca, directed by Kevin Dodd
• 48 person precision ball passing at New York City Center, Choreographed by Charles Moulton
• Madame Butterfly with the Kalamazoo Symphony Orchestra (as a geisha girl)

She greatly enjoys the collaborative process with artists in multi-disciplinary work: one of her favorite projects was Separations for string quartet and dance septet. This work was premiered in Michigan, where she was in collaboration with La Catrina String Quartet and composer Scott Blasco. She will be choreographing the play The Sandman showing in January at Manhattan Theater Source, and is also in the process of developing a pop-culture/icon-based version of Salome with director Kevin Dodd. Erin continues to perform tango at milongas in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut with her partner and husband Doruk Golcu, they are both assistant teachers for Baila Tango New York.
