I took a trip to Brooklyn last week to chat with Georgia Usborne about her life as a dancer and curator here in NYC. In our discussion, we dive into what it's like to transition into roles outside of just being a dancer, and why it's important for dancers to be open to more than just performance opportunities.
Georgia continues to dive into her career and unveil more opportunities that align with her natural gifts and interests. Through our discussion, Georgia shows us why "success" is a relative term and why it is important for dancers to find jobs where their talents can shine through.
Georgia Usborne is a British born dance artist performing, creating and teaching out of Brooklyn, New York. She is the Founding and Director of CreateART, performance and residency platform building community and supporting artists in New York City.
Following her training at Central School of Ballet in London, Georgia danced with contemporary repertory company Bern Ballet in Switzerland under the direction of Cathy Marston.
