Carolyn Lockhart Schoerner

Carolyn Lockhart Schoerner (b. 1982, Lansing, Michigan) is an artist, dancer, and choreographer living in Brooklyn. She received her training from the Kirov Academy of Ballet and her BA in Art History from Indiana University. Often examining dance within domestic settings, she explores the practice  intimately, allowing it to serve as a performative, diaristic view of life. Her video pieces have been screened at 839 (Los Angeles), Lubov (New York), and Ed. Varie (New York). She has also performed collaboratively with various artists at Mass MoCA (North Adams, MA), Cleopatra’s (Brooklyn), Simone Subal (New York), Essex Flowers (New York), and Signal (Brooklyn). Her solo exhibition, A Dance in Two Acts, was on view at 839 in early 2026.
