ERIN KILMURRAY is a dance artist creating genre-straddling, femme-forward performance work that demands aliveness and collectivity on stage, in studio, and with audiences. They facilitate a dance and community practice that relentlessly explores the celebrations and liberations of women, queer folks, and the underdog. Her work embraces mess, play, pleasure, and lessons in how arbitrary the line between artist and audience can be. Named Chicagoan of the Year in Dance 2025 by the Chicago Tribune, she is also recognized with a 2024 US Artist Fellowship Award in Dance, an Illinois Arts Council Fellowship Awardee (2023), and as a Chicago Dancemakers Lab Artist (2020). Erin is the choreographer/director of the legendary performance project, The Fly Honey Show.
