Sarah Groth is an interdisciplinary artist working within the realms of dance, choreography, and mixed medium visual art.

Groth explores bodily presence, responsibility, sexuality, femininity, and power patterns in the moving body. Born and raised in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Groth pays tribute to the incompressible sense of space and immense intimacy the land provides with her distinct ink work and movement style. Addressing the complexities of the female body - her work aims to bring the intensely intimate forward to invoke the heartbreakingly beautiful heterogeneity of being human.

 

Groth graduated with a BA in Contemporary Dance and Intercultural Communications from the University of New Mexico summa cum laude. She was a 2022 UETF (Urban Enhancement Trust Fund) Resiliency Residency awardee, where she furthered a interdisciplinary piece, bodies. In 2019 and 2020, Groth lived in Nicosia, Cyprus where she worked with world-renowned choreographers Lia Haraki and Panayiotis Tofi. Groth has been published in the Albuquerque Journal, Blue Mesa Review, Daily Lobo, and Stance on Dance. Currently, she is traveling and working internationally.

Questions Sarah Brings to Her Practice

​

How do I work to decolonize my body in a queer way and space without re-centering my racial and gendered moving body? How do whiteness and womanhood intersect in my lived experience? How are ideas, patterns, and stereotypes imposed on a body? How can ideas, patterns, and stereotypes be dismantled in a body?

​

How can I authentically move?
