Community Director

Isabel Hunter (she/her) is a Portland, Maine-based dance artist originally from the Chicagoland area. She began her training at the Chicago Academy for the Arts, graduating in 2014, and went on to earn a BFA in Contemporary Dance Performance with a minor in Psychology from the Boston Conservatory in 2020. That same year, she joined little house dance as a company member under the direction of Heather Stewart.

Since relocating to Portland, Isabel has cultivated a dynamic choreographic and teaching practice. Most recently she was awarded a creative fellowship at Chulitna Lodge, an artist residency in Lake Clark, Alaska, where she developed a new solo work. This opportunity was supported through a grant from the New England Foundation for the Arts. In addition to her movement practice she has a close relationship with writing, film, and digital photography- mediums that deeply inform her artistic process and creative perspective.

As Community Director of little house, Isabel cultivates opportunities for artists to connect, collaborate, and thrive within our creative community. She looks forward to deepening this work and creating more spaces and resources for artists in Maine.
