James Moreno is a choreographer and dance studies scholar. His current research examines everyday movement techniques that we use to mediate our cultural identities and the movement techniques that performance-based artists use when on stage. Moreno is currently working on two performance projects: a co-directed staging of Caryl Churchill’s Love and Information and a yet to be titled work that explores the problems and solutions of “speaking for others,” or speaking for a community other than your own. Moreno holds a PhD in Performance Studies from Northwestern University, is the author of Dances of José Limon and Erick Hawkins (Routledge, 2020), and is Associate Professor of Theatre and Dance at the University of Kansas
