Natalie Zervou is an Associate Professor in Dance at the University of Wisconsin - Madison. She holds a PhD in Critical Dance Studies from the University of California, Riverside. Her work focuses on the intersection between dance practices and the socio-political sphere and particularly on the interplay between dance and crises. Her manuscript Performing the Greek Crisis: Navigating National Identity in the Age of Austerity (University of Michigan Press 2024) explores the ways that dancing bodies negotiate national identity construction in the fluctuating landscape of the (2009-2019) socio-political and economic crisis in Greece. Zervou's new research project pairs Dance Studies with Horror Studies to explore bodies in extreme states of crisis, such as those proposed in horror films or live performances experimenting with grotesque aesthetics.
