About me
Lucy Bowen McCauley was the Artistic Director, choreographer, and creative energy behind Bowen McCauley Dance Co (BMDC). From the company’s founding in 1996, she created over 100 works, ranging from lyrical ballets to highly physical contemporary pieces set to rock music. Her choreography explores the interplay between music, dance, and drama. In addition, her collaborations with other world-class artists and musicians have been instrumental to her creative process. BMDC celebrated its 25th season with its final performance at the Kennedy Center’s Eisenhower Theatre in September 2021. BMDC and The Kennedy Center have a 25-year relationship; Lucy continues to teach Dance for Parkinson’s Disease at the Kennedy Center on a weekly basis.
Teaching Dance for PD® since 2008, Lucy is a Certified Teacher in the research-backed Dance for PD international program based in Brooklyn, NY, founded by Director David Leventhal (housed at the Mark Morris Dance Group). She has created regional partnerships with Inova Health, PMD Alliance, PFNCA, Washington Ballet, George Mason University, Maryland Youth Ballet and others to offer Dance for PD classes in the Mid-Atlantic region. She is also a highly regarded trainer for new Dance for PD instructors.
Lucy currently serves on The Arlington Commission for the Arts and the Dance/USA National Leadership Council for Dance as Inaugural Chair. Past board service includes the Arlington Chamber of Commerce and the Arlington Economic Development Commission.
