Adrienne Chan is a contemporary ballet choreographer and dancer based in New York City. Blending the language of contemporary ballet with sociological themes and playful, earnest theatricality, her work investigates dance as a narrative medium. Originally from Cleveland, Ohio, Adrienne is a recent graduate from Harvard University, where she studied Sociology and Theater, Dance, and Media. Recent work includes Romeo & Juliet (2024), a full-length contemporary dance-theater adaptation that she directed and co-choreographed. Lauded for its emotional depth and formal ambition, the production was described as a “total artwork… blending choreography, storytelling, and design into a profoundly moving whole—like no Shakespeare we’ve seen before” (The Harvard Independent). Her process is grounded in collaboration and care. In recognition of her artistic work, Adrienne has received the E. John Busser Scholarship and the Harvard Office for the Arts’ Radcliffe Doris Cohen Levi Prize for choreography and musical theater.
