SHaun Keylock
 

Shaun Keylock is an American director and choreographer recognized for his innovative projects and bold approach to contemporary dance. His choreography focuses on the deconstruction of classical forms, including ballet, opera, and the visual arts, creating works that are both technically sound and radically subversive. In addition to his creative work, he runs Conduit Dance, Inc., an arts service organization dedicated to supporting new dance works and preserving the cultural legacy of artists in Oregon and the Pacific Northwest. His choreography has been commissioned by leading festivals and institutions such as On the Boards, Portland Opera, White Bird, and PICA. Most recently, he was chosen to create a world premiere for the 2024 Portland Jazz Festival in collaboration with the drums-and-electronics duo Methods Body.
