Adam Weinert is a choreographer, researcher, and gardener based in Hudson, New York. He has produced and choreographed two award-winning dance films screened nationally and abroad, and his performance works have toured to four continents, including venues such as the Museum of Modern Art New York, the Tate Britain Museum in London, and the Palais Garnier in Paris. Weinert studied at the Royal Ballet School, the School of American Ballet, The Juilliard School, and New York University, where he earned a master’s degree under André Lepecki. He has performed with the Metropolitan Opera Ballet Company, the Mark Morris Dance Group, Shen Wei Dance Arts, and others.
In addition to his performance work, Weinert was published in The New York Times, PAJ: A Journal of Performance and Art, and the Juilliard Journal. He was named a “Dance Renegade” by Dance Magazine, received the Léo Bronstein Award from New York University, and earned the Hector Zaraspe Prize for Outstanding Choreography from The Juilliard School. In 2020, Weinert was named a Bessie Honoree for his work reconstructing and interrogating the choreographic legacy of Modern Dance pioneer Ted Shawn. That same year, he launched Jacob’s Garden, a working farm, living archive, and participatory piece of choreography on the campus of the Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival in Becket, Massachusetts. His ongoing research explores the sensual connectivity between performance, agriculture, nourishment, and community.
