ABOUT + RESUMÉ

My mission is to expand worldviews, ignite conversation, and unite communities through the sharing of stories.

Elyn Collier is a multi-hyphenate storyteller whose work spans directing, choreographing, producing, teaching, and coaching. She is currently prioritizing Associate Directing/Choreographing.

Originally from Jacksonville, FL. Elyn grew up dancing, playing piano, directing/choreographing musicals in her driveway… bedroom, and/or swimming pool, and disrupting her classes to tell a story (my deepest apologies to my elementary teachers…)

Elyn has had the privilege of collaborating with the most prestigious theatrical companies including but not limited to Pittsburgh CLO, North Shore Music Theatre, Barrington Stage, Berkshire Theatre Group, and TheatreworksUSA. She currently serves as dance faculty at the world-renowned Broadway Dance Center in New York, and continues to develop young artists around the world as workshop artist in New York and at numerous Colleges and Universities across the country.

Elyn holds a BM in Musical Theatre from the University of Mobile.

When she’s not wearing many hats, Elyn can be found exploring new restaurants, cooking up various soups, hiking, or playing Settlers of Catan with her friends.
