Mathew Heggem, dance & media artist/educator/administrator, currently lives in Brooklyn, New York. Seeking to connect his understanding of ballet with his experience in contemporary dance, Heggem bridges an experimental and visionary approach to classical technique, improvisation and partnering. Understanding beauty through the method of performance and engaging a creative, spiritual practice through the medium of his body is foundational in his life’s work.

Originally from the Pacific Northwest (Bellingham, WA), he relocated to the East Coast in 2003 and has since performed nationally. He began his training at Pacific Dance Company under the tutelage of Eliese Kerman studying theater performance, ballet and modern dance. To date, his knowledge within the field of dance has expanded to include contemporary ballet, improvisation, partnering techniques and various traditional and contemporary cultural forms.

Studying dance and choreography at Goucher College (MD), he had a breadth of performance experiences with students, faculty and guest artists; highlights in ballet include the Bournonville Project with Gage England and Henley Haslam; Don Quixote, restaged by Charla Genn; and contemporary works by Robert Weiss. Modern and contemporary works include excerpts from Esplanade, staged by Rachel Berman, and original choreography by Robert Moses and Adrienne Clancy. Heggem received the America College Dance Festival/ Dance Magazine Best Student Performer Award at the national’s conference, held at the Kennedy Center, in May 2006.

At the forefront of his artistic interests, Heggem collaborates with fellow artist, Wendell Cooper, co-creating duets under their company, Kinaesthesia. Together, they’ve performed at Baltimore’s Transmodern Festival, Gloucester New Arts Festival (Gloucester, MA), Dance Conversations @ the Flea (NYC), Dixon Place (NYC), and the Sublet Series (NYC).

Other major choreographic projects include: “Vision, Creation and Energy in the Discourse of Being,” a 10-month, research-based project which concluded with a final performance at Baltimore’s H&H building; a solo-turned-duet, entitled “Letting Forward” at the Baltimore Theater Project; and, his current year-long project, Arctic Genesis - a creative & spiritual re-birth.

Heggem performs with nicholasleichterdance and serves as Marketing & Media Manager for Dancing in the Streets.
