...MoreEileen Standley is a visual artist, choreographer and performer who works with a variety of media in performance and installation settings. Her artistic research often explores a threshold moment before gesture manifests itself in the material world. Consciousness, the metaphysical, and radically shifting states of body/mind are recurring themes of inquiry informed by practices of real-time composition/improvisation, live art, somatically-driven investigations and collaboration. Her work has been seen internationally in festivals, museums and theaters such as the Holland Festival, Mercat de les Flors in Barcelona, Center for Contemporary Art in Cádiz, CaDance Festival in Den Haag, Side Step Festival in Helsinki, the Bimhuis and Frascati Theaters in Amsterdam, and the Asahi Art Square in Tokyo. Eileen's work and interdisciplinary collaborations have been supported by several National Dutch Arts Commissions, the Japan Foundation, the Netherlands Embassy in Japan, the Institute for Humanities Research, and the Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts, among others. She was on the faculty of the Amsterdam School of the Arts for twenty-four years and relocated to the U.S. in 2009. Eileen is currently a Clinical Professor in the School of Film, Dance and Theatre at Arizona State University.
