Miriam Levy is a choreographer and dancer based in London. She makes work that is balanced precariously between serious and silly, exploring social or political concepts from a shifting queer perspective. They are currently exploring ideas of care, community and rage.

Most recently she was commissioned to create a piece entitled Clips with Third Row Dance Company, looking at DIY hairdressing and community support. Other recent projects include creating a movement installation entitled Invisible Ink, exploring the search for a queer history you relate to. This was presented at Bermondsey Project Space and is part of an ongoing research collaboration with writer Rebecca Riddleston.

In 2022 their piece I Can't Work Under These Conditions was performed at Resolution Festival, at The Place theatre. She has also created the dance film Misshapen Pearl in collaboration with the Baroque viol consort Fretwork. This looks at the Baroque sensibility through a queer lens and has been screened at Dartington Music Festival and Bermondsey Project Space. 

As well as creating dance work, Miriam has recently been developing a practice of writing poetry. One of their poems was published in t'ART Magazine's issue Secret Thoughts in late 2023.

Her performance practice includes developing multiple short solo works and sharing them at platforms around London, including Raw Eggs and Rich Man's Slug. She has also worked extensively as a collaborator with other artists. 

They have worked with choreographers such Alice+Synne, Ruby Portus and Good Chance Theatre and Sunniva Moen Rørvik. She also performed with Livia Rita and Avantgardeners Collective at the Brunel Museum. She has a particular interest in site-specific work and work performed outside of traditional theatre spaces.

Miriam graduated from Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance in July 2021. Whilst in training she performed and choreographed a solo entitled trudge, which was shown at the Southbank Centre as part of the Trinity Laban Gold Medal Award.
