Morgan Gregory, originally from Richmond, Virginia, is a graduate of the Ailey/Fordham BFA program (New York, NY), double majoring in both African and African American Studies and Dance under the guidance of Melanie Person and Laurie Lambert. In 2022, Morgan was honored as the Denise Jefferson Memorial Scholar for their graduating Ailey/Fordham BFA class as well as named one of Sidra Bell’s Winter Module 2022 Research Fellows. Professionally, Morgan has performed works by Jacolby Satterwhite in a Lincoln Center film installation, Annie Rigney's 92Y Harkness Studio Series, and is currently working and collaborating with visual artist Julien Creuzet and choreographer Ana Pi on a continuing multi-disciplinary project that explores sound, shapes, and movements within the African diaspora.

Holding the identity of an American Black woman, Morgan is constantly inundated in the exploration of ancestral importance. In this continuous effort of understanding, Morgan finds herself creating spaces of intersectionality.  Specifically, the intersectionalities of Academia, Womanhood, Blackness, Dance, and Theater. This said, Morgan premiered her work “Homage” (2023) at The Ailey School as well as recently, The Craft (Brooklyn, NY) and Steps Beyond. Additionally,  she has debuted a short film, Reflections of a Black Star, which exists in relation to a written thesis entitled Afro-futurism: The Black Body as an Immortal Canvas of Storytelling, Resistance, and Mysticism. Morgan is interested in how her ever-changing identity can work with and nurture her current movement practices within institutionalized workspaces.
