Molly Roy is a Ph.D. candidate in the Performance as Public Practice program and a recipient of a 21-22 Graduate School Continuing Fellowship. Her research focuses on choreographies of surveillance, exploring dance works that thematize and critique surveillance culture while considering how surveillance technologies themselves function as choreographic agents. Her article, "Systems of Choreography: Performing Normal in Pubic," was recently published in the Arts Forum of the journal Surveillance & Society. She is a member of the Dance Studies Association and the Surveillance Studies Network. Roy holds a M.S. in Information Studies from The University of Texas at Austin and a B.A. in Liberal Arts with specializations in dance and education from Prescott College.
