Charlotte Griffin From North Carolina, has received international recognition as an emerging choreographer since graduating from The Juilliard School in 1997. Under the direction of Mr. Benjamin Harkarvy, she was honored with the Martha Hill Award for excellence in her field of study.

Charlotte is currently directing and choreographing dance for the camera as an MFA Dance candidate and Assistant Instructor at the University of Texas at Austin. She created her first short dance film, Raven Study, in 2007. Raven Study received an Outstanding Student Work Award at the ADF Dancing for the Camera Festival in 2007. The film has screened in New York City, San Diego, Austin, Virginia, Scotland, Spain, and Amsterdam. She is currently editing her second film, Barefoot Negotiations, which was shot at White Sands National Monument in New Mexico. To support her program of study, Charlotte was awarded a highly competitive Graduate School Continuing Fellowship.

Her performing career exposed her to a range of choreographic ideas and styles. She danced with choreographers David Neumann, Toshiko Oiwa, Karen Graham, Yasmeen Godder, Robert Battle, and Sue Bernhard. Numerous universities, festivals, and companies have since commissioned Charlotte's choreography. She has created and staged works for the American Ballet Theatre Summer Intensive in Austin, the Bessie Schönberg Choreographers and Dancers Residency at The Yard, the Barcelona Institut del Teatre, Houston Metropolitan Dance Company, Les Ballets Jazz de Montréal, The Juilliard Dance Ensemble, The American Dance Festival, The New York Choreographic Institute, Eliot Feld's Kids Dance, and Bates Dance Festival.

Charlotte was thrilled to create new ballets for the New York Choreographic Institute with New York City Ballet and the School of American Ballet in 2001 and 2006. She collaborated with Milica Paranosic and Huang Ruo, gifted composers and Juilliard alumni. In 2005, Charlotte was the honored recipient of the Scripps/ADF Primus-Tamiris Fellowship to represent the USA for the American Dance Festival's International Choreographers Commissioning Program. For this commission, she again worked with Milica Paranosic, whose original score was funded by the Erskine Faculty Development Grant from the Juilliard School.

With a passion for teaching, Charlotte was on faculty at Marymount Manhattan College for four years mentoring student choreography in addition to teaching dance composition, rhythmic training, improvisation, and repertory.
