CELESTE BRACE

COMPANY MEMBER SINCE 2023

Celeste Brace (she/they) is a movement artist/teacher from Colorado that engages with dance as a holistic, spiritual practice and an avenue for curiousity. As a young dancer, she trained with Colorado Springs’ Ormao Dance Company and has recently graduated with a BFA in Dance with Columbia College Chicago’s class of 2023. At Columbia, she had the privilege of performing works by Darrell Jones, Lisa Gonzales, Raquel Monroe, C. Kemal Nance, and Paige Cunningham Caldarella, as well as performing as a guest artist with Ayodele Drum and Dance in the company’s 2021 concert Herstory II Tell: Femmes de Pouvoir. In Spring of 2023, her work was acknowledged by the American College Dance Association as a selection for the National Gala Concerts. Celeste is so excited and filled with gratitude to dance with Red Clay for its 15th season!
