Noel Price-Bracey
Noel Price-Bracey is a contemporary artist, advocate, and educator whose attention to social change has led her to create, collaborate, and perform across the U.S., including Kalamazoo, MI, Detroit, MI, Chicago, IL, Seattle, WA, Spokane, WA, Bellingham, WA, Missoula, MT, and Portland, OR as well as internationally, Canada and Italy. In 2014, she established PRICEarts LLC, a multidisciplinary arts organization with a mission to empower communities to find freedom through creative expression. In 2019, she received the SeattleDances, Dance Crush award for her work with PRICEarts and her commitment to advocating for mental wellness through dance. With her teaching, Price-Bracey explores the dynamic tension between Western learning modalities and communal pedagogical practices. Noel earned her MFA in Dance from the University of Washington, Seattle, in 2024, where her research addressed the perceived absence of dance within Black arts historiographies and engaged, embodied performance, protest, and reenactments of The Black Arts and Black Power Movement through to modern social movements. Noel Price-Bracey is currently an Assistant Professor of Jazz dance at Muhlenberg College in Allentown, PA.
During this residency I am focused on act two Act II of Mother or Kitchen Muva which blends social/contemporary dance vocabulary and theatrical framing to depict the hyper dysregulated thoughts, actions and psyche of myself as a working mother – Black in the USA.
