EFFY GREY
Effy Grey (they/them) is a dance artist, photographer and veterinary technician living in Brooklyn, NY. They started dancing by taking elective classes at Ohio State University while obtaining a bachelor’s degree in Zoology. Effy worked with wonderful local choreographers in Columbus for both dance and aerial arts as well as being supported through a Columbus Dances Fellowship. After moving to Brooklyn, though guided towards dance photography, opportunities came to perform with BoyFriday, Baira MVMNT PHLSPHY and Coco Karol while cultivating a process to create their own work. In 2019 Effy was a Fellow for the Leimay OUTSIGHT series, which was performed in NYC as a quartet and Berlin as a solo, focusing on connection, hope and a touch of queerness. Effy is still continuing to advance those themes within their physicality and storytelling to generate more accessibility to less explored queer and social experiences. www.effygrey.com @greywitch6
