Tahni Holt is a dance artist and somatic practitioner whose work is rooted in collaboration and community. Born and raised in what is now known as Portland, Oregon, she has spent most of her life in the shadow and glow of Mt. Hood. Shaped by wild landscapes and a punk adolescence, dance making for Tahni is a way to imagine, question and reside in the liminal space, where unraveling is not a marker of failure but one of great power and intrigue. Her work has been presented nationally at On the Boards, Seattle, WA; Velocity Dance, Seattle, WA; Fusebox Festival, Austin, TX; DiverseWorks, Houston, TX; Portland Institute for Contemporary Art, Portland, OR; and White Bird, Portland, OR. She is a recipient of an NDP Touring Award, an Oregon Arts Commission Fellowship, and was a 2021 USA Artist Fellowship nominee. Internationally, her work has been performed in Bulgaria and supported through residencies in France, Greece, Romania, and Portugal. Holt is the founder and one of four current stewards of FLOCK Dance Center, a hub for embodied practice and critical engagement in the Pacific Northwest.
