Artistic Director Kim Jones

Kim Jones is the Founder & Artistic Director of Movement Migration, a modern dance company based in Charlotte, NC & NYC. She is an Associate Professor of Dance at UNC Charlotte and a régisseur for the Martha Graham Resource Center. She danced with the Martha Graham Dance Company and the Metropolitan Opera Ballet and served as a principal dancer in the US National Tour of The King and I.

Kim is well known for her work with historic modern dances. Most recently, choreographer Paul Taylor offered Tracer (1962), a collaboration with the artist Robert Rauschenberg (set and costumes), as the subject of a scholarly reconstruction by Kim. She recreated the work using her research and dance expertise on Taylor 2 Dance Company members, thanks to funding from the NEA Art Works grant, UNC Charlotte Faculty Research Grant and Wells Fargo. Tracer has been performed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art and The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), 92st Y "Fridays at Noon", and The Metropolitan Museum in New York City, among other national venues.
