BIO

Margaret Pugh is a storyteller, a dancer, an actor, and a sock connoisseur. Through movement and dance, she expresses and creates worlds woven with narrative, sentiment, and wit.

Margaret Pugh received her BFA in Dance from George Mason University with a minor in Theater, and has worked with companies such as New Dialect (Nashville) and Vox Medusa (Minneapolis). She has trained in the styles of modern, ballet, contemporary, hip hop, jazz, breakdancing, and aerial silks. She has also taught a wide variety of age groups, including curriculum development for young dancers. To be a dancer is to bring the vision of the piece to life.

Margaret has performed in a wide range of performance, from the concert contemporary works of Christina Robson and Lawrence Jackson, to the Do Portugal International Circus big top, to the immersive theater production of Volkov’s Possession. She is always searching for new and exciting works to be a part of.

 In her own choreographic work, Margaret builds dances rich with storytelling. Often with the enhancements of meticulously chosen details such as hand crafted costumes or music, Margaret adapts her stage choreography to film and video, using the medium to bring dance and art to new audiences. Margaret’s choreographic work has been shown at George Mason’s Harris Theater, and many of her dance films can be found here.
