Lindsey had the honor of performing in one of David Bowie’s final videos, Dark Star. Lindsey is committed to the process of collaboration, and the integration of improvisational forms and directed movement. Her movement investigations look to dance and performance as a method for discourse around relationship and connection: examining a body’s collaborative relationship between thought and movement; the porous connection and engagement between performers and audiences; and a continual investigation in how we collaborate on a global scale, as individuals moving within the world.

As an independent Creative Producer/Project Manager/Grant Writer/Consultant, Lindsey has worked with Michelle Boulè, Raja Kelly, Joanna Kotze, Anna Sperber, Netta Yerushalamy, and Pavel Zustiak/Palissimo. Lindsey has curated and produced performances for numerous non-profit dance organizations in NYC, such as Sarah Maxfield's Throw at The Chocolate Factory (2012-2013), Dance New Amsterdam (2012-2013), Food For Thought at Danspace Project (2014), New Initiatives (2015), and as Managing Director at Movement Research (2016-2018).
