​Remi Harris is a performer, choreographer, curator, producer, and arts administrator. She has developed an approach that combines a cross-disciplinary perspective with an intuitive sensibility and deep love for developing art-based relationships. Her creative career in New York is decorated with performances and collaborations, both formal and experimental; with contemporaries and trailblazers; on stage, in film, art, on tour, on rooftops, at demonstrations, on terrible floors, and on ice skating rinks. 

 

Her projects have been featured at Abrons Art Center, Brooklyn Studios for Dance, Danspace Project, Teatro La Tea, Triskelion Arts, Judson Church, The Mark O'Donnell Theater, The Brick Theater, Thalian Hall, Spark Dance Film Festival, Triskelion Dance Film Festival, and the Cucalorus Film Festival in Wilmington North Carolina among others.  

 

She has collaborated with and performed for Racoco/Rx, Sydnie L. Mosley, Christal Brown/INSPIRIT, Katie Workum, Kay Ottinger, Keigwin + Company, Lois Welk, Sxip Shirey, and Coco Karol, Okwui Okpokwasili and Peter Born, among others. Along with mover Mark Schmidt, she has been making dances collaboratively since 2018 under the performance collective JoyFlux. With an ethos of “Come as You Are,” Remi and Mark create site-specific performances, community activations, movement workshops, and evening-length work.

 

She is currently the Co-Manager for the NY State Choreographers Initiative (NYSCI), a program of NYS DanceForce, supported by the NYS Council on the Arts (NYSCA), and the Co-Producer and Lead Educational and Engagement Coordinator for Pioneers Go East Collective. She has held positions as the Associate Artistic Director of HERE Arts Center, the Education Coordinator at Ballet Hispanico, and the Co-Director of Brooklyn Studios for Dance (BkSD). She advocates for dance equity as a member of several art collectives and committees. She graduated from Hofstra University with a BA in Dance on scholarship.

Born in Barbados and raised in Brooklyn, she remains closely connected to and curious about her roots.
