Graham Brown, Artistic Director of SONDERimmersive, has been an integral part of the SLC dance and performance scene for over 15 years. A graduate of the University of Utah Department of Modern Dance, he founded the collaborative improvisation performance group Movement Forum in 2003 with which he created new work, performed, and facilitated various community engagements locally and nationally for almost 10 years.

He performed for several years with PEARSONWIDRIG DANCETHEATRE, directed by NYC artists Sara Pearson and Patrik Widrig. With PWDT he performed nationally and internationally both stage and site-specific work.

Graham received his MFA in dance from the University of Maryland where he focused on integrating dance and theatre. His 2017 work Sonder was the first fully produced outgrowth of this research. Sonder occupied three stories of the Historic Eagle’s Hall building (now café Molise) in Downtown SLC, for a 6-week sold out run of shows to which many returned multiple times.

He has also choreographed for several straight plays, most recently Let The Right One In with Christopher Clark and Morag Shepherd at An Other Theatre Company in Provo, UT.

Graham was a full-time professor in the Dance Department at BYU from 2013-2018. He created SONDERimmersive in 2019. Productions thus far include:

• The Chocolatier (previously titled Thank You Theobromine) re-opening March 12, 2021 in a working chocolate facility
• Through Yonder Window - a drive-in immersive retelling of Romeo & Juliet that is now available for booking anywhere in pop-up form
• THE CAROUSEL - Opening November 9 at  the Dreamscapes immersive art exhibit
• The I in Animal - A commission from the Hogle Zoo, opening spring, 2021

​While COVID has been very difficult, he remains optimistic and passionate about the societal value of live art, and of creative problem solving as a means to do so without compromising safety.
