Bryn Du's Artist in Residence Program

Danielle Pinney is the Fall Artist-in-Residence at Bryn Du Mansion in Granville, Ohio. Throughout her 12-week residency, Danielle will conduct research at the intersection of contemporary dance and poetry, exploring how one’s surroundings impact and inspire new modalities of movement. She will investigate how bodies move through landscapes, create a contemporary solo performance, and develop a short poetry collection. Danielle combines contemporary dance, poetry, and nature-inspired creativity in her interdisciplinary work, and we are thrilled to share her talent and passion with the Bryn Du community this late fall and early winter.​
