Adrienne Chan ‘25

Adrienne (she/her) is a junior at Harvard concentrating in sociology and theater, dance & media. Originally from Cleveland, Ohio, she trained with Cleveland City Dance and performed with their pre-professional company, City Ballet of Cleveland. As a student, she has participated in summer intensive programs at Pacific Northwest Ballet, American Ballet Theatre, Kaatsbaan, and Atlanta Ballet. In her work as a choreographer, she explores dance as a narrative medium in theater, concert dance, and site-specific works. Adrienne explores themes of interiority, connection, identity sense-making, and ephemerality, and she employs qualitative and collaborative methods in building movement with and for performers. After choreographing the class of 2025’s First Year Musical, Adrienne choreographed several productions across Harvard’s venues, including Footloose in the Agassiz, Spring Awakening in the Loeb Proscenium, and The Bubbly Black Girl Sheds Her Chameleon Skin in the Loeb Ex. She served as Board Secretary for Harvard Ballet Company and acts currently as the Campus Liaison on the Harvard-Radcliffe Dramatic Club Board (2024). Out of Harvard, Adrienne was a summer trainee at Ohio Contemporary Ballet, a past recipient of the E. John Busser scholarship, and works as a freelance choreographer in the Greater Boston area.
