Portrait of artist Sarah Carr looking out at the camera through a bull mask made of wire and wool

Hello!

I was born in WV but have been semi-nomadic since the age of 17. I have lived in Pittsburgh, Boston, Philadelphia, Seattle, and Montreal, plus shorter stays in other places.

My BA is in anthropology, and I feel more like an observer than a participant much of the time.

I have explored a wide range of expressive arts in my quest to make meaning out this thing we call life and forge connections with those who experience my work. I am currently building performances using masks, puppetry, dance, music, and video projection. I also create fine art in fiber, using materials like handmade felt, wire, yarn, and reclaimed textiles.

I'm Sarah Carr.

With my theater company WeftWorks, I have presented short and evening length works on both coasts of North America and a stop or two in the middle. I also create props and costumes for films, often working with my partner, Christopher Hallock.

I am a lifelong student of human movement, classically trained in dance and certified as a Pilates Instructor, personal trainer, and Zenga instructor. I teach my own amalgamated technique, called Restorative Articulation, as well as biomechanically-informed ballet classes. A very important goal in my work is to contribute to the health and longevity of the movement artists with whom I collaborate, balancing aesthetic concerns with evidence-based physical conditioning practices.

I am active on Instagram @carrarts and my theater projects get posted on @weftworks -- follow along!
