Allie Hankins is a Portland-based performer who makes works that toy with the destabilization of personae through uncanny physicality, layered imagery, and a biting wit while trying to suppress her contentious eagerness to please. She is an inaugural member of FLOCK: a new dance centre and creative home to Portland’s experimental dance artists spearheaded by Tahni Holt, and a co-founder of Physical Education, a socially engaged dance and performance body comprised of herself, keyon gaskin, Taka Yamamoto, and Lucy Lee Yim. Physical Education hosts reading groups & lectures, curates performances, and teaches workshops nationally. Allie has been an artist-in-residence at the Djerassi Resident Artist Program and Caldera.
