Meet the directors, dancers and crew behind Buoy Band
Joy! Resilience! Community! Chloe Carlson focuses on weaving these 3 ingredients as she shares her lifelong passion for dance via teaching, choreographing, and performing. While she has directed and performed in her own and others’ companies, and taught dance for decades to movers of all ages and amounts of experience, Chloe has followed an unconventional dance path, detouring to become a lawyer for a while and diving headlong into dance at the age of 40. She believes fervently in the transformative, positive power of dance and loves to inspire others to move. She was honored to serve for many years on the Board of David Dorfman Dance, including as President. Chloe is thrilled to be co-helming Glitter Bomb with the sparkly Natalie Johnson and collaborating with the other shimmering artists.Deepest gratitude to the wondrous Bruce and kiddos.
Natalie Johnson has created and produced original dance performances throughout the country since 2013. Some feathers in her cap include receiving the Next Steps in Boston Dance grant, three artistic residencies in Finland, Costa Rica, and NYC respectively, and recently having her poetry published in the international literary magazine, Beyond Words. Her most prestigious accolade however, is becoming a mother in 2022. Natalie is thrilled to be collaborating with Chloe Carlson to lead, choreograph, and perform in Glitter Bomb. She delights in the interplay between language and dance, and is honored to be presenting humorous, tender and engaging movement in the Providence community once more.
