Profile Information
- Occupation
- Choreographer/Graduate Student
- Bio
- Ashley Ferro-Murray is a choreographer and a doctoral candidate in performance studies with a designated emphasis in new media at the University of California, Berkeley. As a choreographer, Ferro-Murray uses movement to tactically resist and reuse ordinary technologies toward re-conceiving issues of access and interaction in performance. Her choreography has been produced by Cornell University, University of California, Berkeley, and The Milk Bar in Oakland, CA. Ferro-Murray’s dissertation research focuses on media-based choreography to consider the importance of movement in the construction of digital subjectivities. She uses dance history and dance studies to analyze dance choreographers who use media in tactical ways. She then expands the scope of her research to include work by new media artists who use movement in tactical ways. Aesthetic analysis acknowledges the complexities of subjectivity as it is produced in contemporary digital culture. Ferro-Murray has two forthcoming book reviews with The Drama Review and Dance Research Journal. She has given talks at conferences for Dance Under Construction, The Society for Dance History Scholars, Congress on Research and Dance, Performance Studies International, and American Society for Theater Research. Ferro-Murray has also been featured as a contributor on -empyre- new media list serve and In Media Res blog. Ferro-Murray currently co-organizes a Doreen B. Townsend Center for the Humanities working group on new media. She serves as the graduate associate for the University of California, Berkeley Arts, Technology & Culture Colloquium and on the executive committee for the Berkeley Center for New Media.
