Melanie George is intrigued by topics that are often relegated to the margins of history and criticism. Her research interests center on an investment in process before product, providing language and context for the ineffable, and investigating the past as prologue to future trends in dance.

She is the founder and director of Jazz Is… Dance Project, and Dramaturg and Audience Educator at Lumberyard (formerly American Dance Institute). As an institutional and freelance dramaturg, she works closely with internationally recognized contemporary performing artists in the incubation of new works for the stage.
