Isabel Torok

Figureheads

PERFORMERS: Mark Dilorio, Cat Mills, Caitlyn Zaniewski 

Carved figures are keeping us company.

Rocking and rolling, weathering and remaining. 

Knotted lines of power and mercurial forces adorn each tide. 

Isabel Torok is an NYC-based movement artist and choreographer working across disciplines to explore how femininity exists in liminality, constantly shifting and adapting. She utilizes improvisational score-based approaches to creating experimental contemporary dance works. In cycles of time, human and nonhuman elements weave together to investigate the space between these two distinctions. Using movement that is loud yet subtle, she questions when performance begins, or if it ever ends. Isabel makes references to childhood or nostalgia through gestures or games, blending performance with remembrance or reality. 

She graduated in May 2026 with a BFA in Dance and an Arts Management minor from Marymount Manhattan College. She has additionally performed works by esteemed choreographers such as Omar Román de Jesús, Raja Feather Kelly, Dolly Sfeir, and Tamisha Guy. Her choreographic work has been showcased at Arts on Site in NYC, as well as multiple showings at MMC.

Film by Rosalind Joyce

Katie Sponenburg (she/her) is a contemporary dance artist born in New Jersey. She is a graduate of Barnard College and believes that the first step in dance is always a mistake. Katie has danced the movement of Trisha Brown, Jodi Melnick, Irene Hultman, Liz Gerring, and traces the histories of many others. Her work centers on visceral experience, patterns that fall apart, and inevitability of nature. She is a lover of bodies of water.

About Green Lung Studio

Green Lung Studio was built by two artists who wanted a place to try things—loudly, quietly, imperfectly. Not a venue. Not a theater. A playground. A lab. A home. We know what it’s like to scrape by in a city that forgets its artists. So we made the kind of space we always needed—a place to test ideas. Today Green Lung Studio is ran by a group of close friends and volunteers looking to protect independent New York art spirit and culture.

Green Lung Studio has year round dance, music, cinema and more. Stay up to date at greenlungstudio.com or @greenlungstudio on Instagram.
