Liz Mulkey, living in Maine, is a Los Angeles born and raised movement artist, actor, film maker and movement teacher. Her work's theme is mental health. Her performances are visceral and theatrical, with heavy use of breath, and often set against the natural world. Liz investigates how stories and roles become physicalized in the body, acting as imprisonment or catalysts to the spirit affecting how we navigate our varying identities. She uses her background in acting to bring theatrics to her work and her mindbody research to provide energetic feedback through the choreography. Liz presents her original choreography as live performance, site specific, film, and photography. Her film Blue won the Italian Absurd Film Fest screened her film Yellow at Golden College West Gallery California, Night Life at En Route Maine, and twice at 92nd st Y Mobile Dance Film Festival.
