Meryl hails from a lineage of willful females from the Middle East, Brazil and Eastern Europe. Her queer films and choreographies derived from experiments at the intersection of cinema and dance explore disruptions to popular notions of spectacle, the body, virtuosity and gender. She holds an MFA in Choreography and Integrated Media from California Institute for the Arts and a BFA from NYU Tisch. You can learn more at: www.merylmurman.me
