Tiffany Rea-Fisher is a go-to choreographer for major theater directors, including Carl Cofield (Best Director, N.A.A.C.P) and Saheem Ali (New York Theatre Workshop, Public Theater). She is an award-winning choreographer for theater, fashion, and music, and the Artistic Director of the Harlem-based, single-voice contemporary modern dance company, EMERGE125.

Rea-Fisher has been the Resident Choreographer with Classical Theatre of Harlem for the last 10 years, contributing to their productions of Macbeth, The Three Musketeers, A Christmas Carol In Harlem, Antigone, The Bacchae, Seize the King, Twelfth Night and Memnon. (For her choreography in Twelfth Night, The New York Times suggested she should have been nominated for a Tony Award.) 

She has also choreographed for two consecutive Public Theater Public Works projects: Troy Anthony’s adaptation of Pericles, performed at St. John the Divine and directed by Cofield, and Benjamin Velez’s adaptation of The Tempest, directed by Laurie Woolery. 

A 7-time consecutive AUDELCO award nominee, a National Dance Project Award winner, 2022 Toulmin fellow, Creatives Rebuild New York awardee, and John Brown Spirit Award recipient, Rea-Fisher has also been awarded a citation from the City of New York for her cultural contributions and was spotlighted in The Broadway Women’s Fund 5th annual “Women to Watch on Broadway’’ list.

Rea-Fisher curates for the Bryant Park Dance Summer Series, has creatively directed for companies such as Music from the Sole, and is also the Executive Director of the Adirondack Diversity Initiative (ADI): many things rolled into one, and jubilantly so.

CV

“Dance is power personified. My hope is that the next generation of dancers can start where I’ve arrived: knowing that our art form gives us the tools we need to acknowledge we are important and we belong.”
