Julie Leir-VanSickle is a dancer, choreographer/creator, performer and mixed media artist. She is the founder of Creative Moves, and current member of Callous Physical Theatre.
She is interested in creating original theatrical work, exploring the intersection of performance and technology, investigating different ways to create and tell a story, and creating performance work in non-traditional spaces. She enjoys exploring all of these through a lens of playfulness. Her recent mixed-media work has used that playfulness to present often unloved and feared creatures such as spiders, snakes, and lizards in a positive light.
Her most recent performance project was taking the original Commedia dell’Arte inspired show “Mask” to the Great Salt Lake Fringe Festival. She produced the "Tell Me a Story" performance installation in the Transitions Art Gallery, and spearheaded the "Check It Out!" site specific dance performance at the Marshall Public Library. She has also choreographed for Danson, Kinetikos Dance Alliance, Acadamie de Danse, and Extend Dance, as well as creating original theatrical and burlesque shows for Old Town Actors Studio in Pocatello.
She has performed with and created work in collaboration with Callous Physical Theatre, Kinetikos Dance Alliance, I-Move, and Extend Dance. She originated the role of Copper Knot in the world premiere performances of Double Blind Sided for Callous.
Her work with children has included choreographing for J.U.M.P. co, a children’s community theatre group, teaching at Acadamie de Danse and Nielson’s School of Dance, running Creative Moves Dance Studio, and organizing theatre workshops and talent shows for the Southeast Idaho Homeschooling Association. She has also taught adult classes for Mind Your Body wellness studio and Extend Dance.
