Beth Graczyk is a New York based dance artist and scientist whose research bridges the worlds of dance and science through inquiry into the creative process and its ramifications on societal issues and outcomes. She works as both a choreographer/ performer and a published scientist. She writes, “Sustaining a dual-career as a dance artist and a published scientist, I attempt to live in-between systems, not adhering fully to any set of proposed rules, values or constructs and at the risk of being unseen, irrelevant, or dismissed for non-adherence. Moving between these spaces allows me to use one system to observe and understand another.” Graczyk received a Batchelor of Arts in Dance, and a Bachelor of Science in Molecular Biology from the University of Washington
