Reed Luplau is a veteran dancer who has performed in Broadway shows and prominent dance companies including Lar Lubovitch Dance Company and the Sydney Dance Company. Trained in multiple forms of dance including classical ballet, modern dance, acrobatics, tap, and jazz, Reed is most interested in being a “good mover”, particularly when movement is a conduit to storytelling. In this conversation we discuss the language of movement and the way it shapes a narrative. Reed’s interest in dancers as unique storytellers with separate identities illuminates the question in this episode’s title, which is taken from a William Butler Yeats poem.

Reed’s Broadway credits include: “Fiddler on the Roof”; “Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812”; and “Moulin Rouge”.
