Eliza Malecki (she/her) is a queer Boston based choreographer, dancer, producer, creative leader, thrifter, and maker of odd things. With a degree in dance from Goucher College, she brings over eight years of professional experience creating and presenting original choreographic work in the Boston area and beyond. Her artistic voice is characterized by an inventive and quirky movement aesthetic, multidisciplinary collaborations, joy based practices, and a unique sense of humor that threads through everything she creates.
 

Drawing from contemporary dance, dance theater, comedy, and social dance forms, Eliza’s creative process is centered around radical self-expression, identity exploration, and building a sense of safety and joy within rehearsal processes that audiences can tangibly feel. She is inspired by the messiness of life and the diversity of lived experiences that humans hold within themselves, and loves to explore how different realities can intersect through storytelling and movement.

​

​Eliza’s choreographic projects have been funded by the Somerville Cultural Council, Newton Cultural Council, Mayor's Office of Arts and Culture, the Transformative Development Initiative, the Maine Arts Commission, and the New England Foundation for the Arts. Eliza has been a resident artist at Bearnstow (ME), The Iron Factory (PA), The City of Lawrence (MA), the Studios at Mass MoCA (MA), and most recently she was awarded the Dance Lab Residency at the Boston Center for the Arts.
