Megan Hannon
Megan Hannon is a multidisciplinary artist working between movement and visual art. She earned her BFA in Dance Performance and Choreography from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, where she trained in ballet, modern, contemporary, and improvisation under the mentorship of artists including Jesse Zaritt, Ishmael Houston-Jones, Sidra Bell, and Roni Koresh. Her teaching and creative work are rooted in Horton, Limón, and Cunningham methodologies, with an emphasis on developing each dancer’s artistic voice through improvisation, process, and movement exploration.
Megan’s choreographic work often blends dance, visual art, film, music, and installation to create emotionally layered experiences. She directed THIS IS A LOVE STORY, a movement short film translating choreography through cinematography, music, and text. Her work is deeply collaborative and frequently brings together artists from different disciplines and backgrounds.
She is the creator of DiVERGENT, a choreography workshop for pre-professional dancers centered on authorship, creative risk-taking, and choreographic development. Her choreographic works have been presented through organizations and venues including the TEDxGreenville, Greenville Center for Creative Arts, the Fine Arts Center, and International Ballet. Her recent works include In(fear)ter, a multigenerational piece featuring dancers from Senior Action alongside professional artists from Greenville, Columbia, and Seattle, and Red Threads, performed at the Columbia Music Festival Association. Most recently, Megan performed in The Apology Project (I’m Sorry), choreographed by Michelle Fletcher, as part of the Asheville Fringe Festival.
Alongside her choreographic practice, Megan works as a visual artist and educator, continuing to explore how movement can connect visual, emotional, and human experience across mediums.
