JULIE MULVIHILL, OKLAHOMA CITY, OK

Julie Mulvihill holds a PhD in Dance Theory and Practice from Texas Woman’s University and a teaching certification in the Alexander Technique from Chesapeake Bay Alexander Studies. She is currently teaching at the School of Dance at the University of Oklahoma and was our March/April 2022 SixTwelve Artist in Residence in Oklahoma City. Julie serves as the president of the World Dance Alliance- Americas and on the editorial team for WDA’s Journal of Emerging Dance Scholarship. She is also the editor of the Alexander Technique International’s ExChange Journal. Julie has studied, practiced, and taught all kinds of movement in all kinds of ways with all kinds of people!

During Julie’s residency with us, she worked with our After School Adventure Program through a curriculum that she created called, “Dancestronauts!” Through movement and dance, as well as creative games, our students were able to explore stars, the planets and outer space! Julie also provided a free parent/student workshop during Paseo Arts Association’s April First Friday art walk and it was a big hit! We were so fortunate to work with Julie and to get our students moving in the most creative and imaginative ways!
