In the early part of her dance career, from the late 1970s to the early 1990s, Carlson performed with Territory Dance Theater in Tucson, Arizona, and later, when she moved to New York in 1984, performed with Susan Rethorst and Meredith Monk. She was an original member of the PS 122 Field Trip Tours, a group of solo performance artists and choreographers that toured their works throughout the United States in the late 1980s. Ms. Carlson presented her first evening- length work, “Real People”, in 1986 at Performance Space 122. That piece became the catalyst for an ongoing group of works that Carlson referred to as the “Real People series”, works made with and performed by people gathered together around common professions, activities or shared relationships. This body of work, described as “delegated performance”, became the foundation for much of Carlson’s later choreography. The work “Sloss, Kerr, Rosenberg & Moore” (or “the lawyer piece”) was performed by four (actual) New York attorneys. Carlson’s second evening-length work, “Animals”, debuted at Dance Theater Workshop in 1988 and toured throughout the U.S. into the mid-1990s. Carlson choreographed the opera “Kabballah” to music composed by Stewart Wallace. Allen Ginsberg and Philip Glass’s chamber opera “Hydrogen Jukebox” was staged by Ann Carlson in June 1990. A 2017 work by the artist entitled “Doggie Hamlet,” which included “five performers, three herding dogs, a dog handler, a dog trainer and a flock of sheep,” was performed in a meadow at dusk.

Carlson was born in Park Ridge, Illinois. She graduated magna cum laude with a BFA in modern dance from the University of Utah in 1976. In 1983 she became one of the first students of the University of Arizona to earn a graduate degree in dance. Even though Carlson received extensive dance training as a child, she defined dance as “any conscious movement in time and space”. Carlson came to this conclusion when she was 12 years old after attending a lecture and demonstration by Murray Louis at the Chicago Museum of Contemporary Art. Because of her broad view of dance, Carlson often tackles important issues in her work and works within a number of disciplines to respond to ideas, concepts and themes. As a result, Carlson takes her work far beyond the confines of traditional “dance” into a realm that could be called performance art.

She was raised and born in Park Ridge, Illinois.
