Meet Laney

Laney Phillips is a dancer and movement enthusiast born and raised in Austin, TX. She likes sweep-you-off-your feet movement (maybe literally); rolling, sliding, spiraling across the floor movement, upside-down movement, and bangs-sticking-to-your-forehead movement.

 

Laney grew up dancing in Austin, and when she moved back from college in 2022, dove right into the vibrant dance community in ATX. Laney has performed with Austin artists Spaces of Fontana, Emily Rushing, Matthew Sommers, and Tikiri Shapiro.

 

Laney loves biking around Austin, visiting new places, and spending as much time outside as possible! She and her partner Adriana recently adopted a pup, Nico, and are a happy family of three!

Why do you love dancing with Spaces of Fontana?

"I love the space (hehe) that Evelyn provides for community, creation and joy! Every rehearsal is filled with laughter and lifting others up (emotionally & PHYSICALLY).

The exploration and expression of human moments through dance excites me. Being human is clunky, silly, awkward, vulnerable, frustrating, joyful and so much more.

 

It is exciting to perform/present a shared experience of creating dance by investigating human moments while being silly little humans too! " - Laney

Becoming, because of the connection and journey with the other dancers in creating as well as performing the piece.
