Participant Profile

Sara Roer

USA
New York

Sara Roer (she/her/hers) hails from Waccamaw land, colonially known as Wilmington, NC, and settled in Lenapehoking (NYC) in 2005 after years of asking to stay on childhood visits. An extroverted, non-disabled, cisgender, white queer femme, Sara’s “slash life” has always balanced dance and arts administration, grounded in curiosity, collaboration, and long-term commitment. She’s been a collaborator with Emily Berry/b3w Performance Group and Keith A. Thompson/danceTactics for nearly 20 years each (earning a New York Times nod as “eloquent”). She co-founded This Body collective with Diane Tomasi and has practiced traditional Thai Bodywork for over 16 years. After 14 years at BAX|Brooklyn Arts Exchange, she is now Interim Executive Director at Dance/NYC, cultivating equitable, justice-centered creative ecosystems.
