Megan Hannon
Megan is an accomplished artist and graduate with a BFA in Dance Performance and Choreography from The University of the Arts in Philadelphia. Under the mentorship of distinguished figures such as Jesse Zaritt, Niall Jones, Ishmael Houston-Jones, Katie Swords-Thurman, Donna Faye Burchfield, Sidra Bell, and Roni Koresh, Megan honed her craft with a deep commitment to innovative expression and interdisciplinary exploration.
Megan’s professional journey has been marked by a seamless integration of her choreographic vision into a broad spectrum of collaborative projects. Her dance works have been showcased at prestigious venues such as the Fine Arts Center, International Ballet, TEDxGreenville, and Greenville Center for Creative Arts, reflecting her dynamic range and evocative storytelling. Megan’s artistic curiosity extends beyond dance; she has engaged in fruitful collaborations with graphic designers, poets, musicians, and photographers, creating a richly woven tapestry of interdisciplinary artistry.
Her most recent work, a multigenerational movement piece titled "In(fear)ter," exemplifies Megan’s ability to merge diverse perspectives and bodies. This piece features dancers from Senior Action alongside professional dancers from Columbia, Greenville, and Seattle, creating a poignant exploration of fear, memory, and connection across generations.
Looking ahead, Megan is poised to complete her next movement film, "Red Threads," in October, a project that promises to further delve into her nuanced narrative style.
In addition to her work as a visual artist and poet, Megan serves as a Visual Arts teacher at Meeting Street Academy in Spartanburg, where she passionately nurtures the creative potential of her students. Outside of the classroom, you can find her leading Wine and Design classes in Spartanburg and Greenville, and directing movement installations and films that push the boundaries of traditional artistic forms.
