A Chicago native, Claude "CJ" Johnson is a dancer, choreographer, and movement director based in Brooklyn NY. After completing his studies at The Chicago Academy for the Arts and SUNY Purchase College, where he was awarded the Adopt-A-Dancer Scholarship, Cj has had the opportunity to perform works by Merce Cunningham, Trisha Brown, Twyla Tharp, Mark Morris, Aszure Barton, Zoe|Juniper, Johannes Weiland, Kevin Wynn, Princess Madoki, and many more. He was also a full-time company dancer with A.I.M. by Kyle Abraham from 2017 to 2022, during which he became a 2021 Princess Grace nominee. Cj is currently a guest dancer for companies and choreographers such as Trisha Brown Dance Company, AIM By Kyle Abraham, NVA &amp; Guess, Rashaun and Silas, Keerati Jinakunwiphat, and many others. He has also participated in his own choreographic residencies through the Baryshnikov Arts Center, The Joyce Theater, Motive Brooklyn, Cuny Dance Initiative, and many more . As a performer, choreographer, and Black queer artist, Cj dances to translate the human experience for audiences, recognizing dance as the most powerful catalyst for self-expression and social change. In any artistic space, he believes his responsibility is to expand the knowledge and perspective of his community's vast experiences.

CHIMAERA is the collaborative duo of dancer and artists Oscar Suh-Rodriguez and Eilish Henderson. Their mutual passion for Butoh, poetry, music, and sound has brought about their collaborative auteur philosophy: music, choreography, costuming–miniature landscapes created jointly. A shared vision of ferality, fragility, and fatality initially brought them together in summer 2025. Since then, they’ve continued to explore the wilderness of their vision through street dances and location specific explorations, recording and journaling their movement all along the way. Their eponymous debut collaboration "CHIMAERA"–a culmination of their experiences and discoveries– premieres April 2nd and 3rd, 2026 at Green Lung Studio. Eilish Henderson’s works have been presented as a part of Queer Butoh at The Brick, WADE Dance Festival, Emerging Artists Festival, “The Body as Archive” at Smush Gallery, and Agropoli Dance Festival in Italy. She has been granted artist residencies at Homeport Art House, Peaked Hill Trust, and Arts, Letters, and Numbers. Eilish holds an MA in Dance Education from NYU: Steinhardt, with an emphasis on Teaching Dance in the Professions. Her scholarship has been presented at the 2023 National Dance Education Organization Conference in Denver and the 2024 International Somatic Movement Education and Therapy Association/NDEO Conference in New York. As a performer, Eilish has danced in the works of many artists including Javier Padilla, Doug Varone, Sean Curran, Adam Barruch, and Ellen Sickenberger. She is an adjunct professor at Iona University and Westchester Community College and teaching artist for the Joyce Theater, Dancewave, and Brooklyn Arts Council. Oscar Suh-Rodriguez is an NYC-based, Chilean-American Butoh dancer and artist. As both dancer and composer, Oscar thrives in the auteur role, bouncing between the composition of choreography and music/sound to illuminate a complete cohesive vision. While influences like Étienne Decroux, Kazuo Ohno, Alejandro Jodorowsky, and the butoh community have greatly informed his movement, his background as a jazz musician has deeply informed his devotion to crafting an organic, impulse-based style. Oscar has presented original works as part of EXCAVATE: Butoh Dance Works in Progress, Chez Bushwick’s RECESS, and Greenlung Studio’s 4:15 series. He has also performed alongside Vangeline Theatre at NYC Dancefest 2025 and will premiere his latest solo work “Butterfly Harvest” at Queer Butoh Festival at The Brick (NYC) June 25 and 26, 2026.
