Matty Owens is a Rhythmic Chameleon. They are a professional tap dancer and have been a member of two tap dance companies in Texas: Rhythmic Souls in Dallas and Tapestry Dance Company in Austin. They have performed in full-length shows and dance festivals nationally and internationally. Matty graduated from Texas Woman’s University with a BA in dance and has studied multiple dance genres. Matty enjoys incorporating their different skills into creating choreography that showcases tap as a musical instrument and intertwines auditory and visual components to create a stimulation of multiple senses at once. Their intention is for the audience to see the melodies they are hearing, and to have the audience question preconceived notions of the relationship between dance, music, and storytelling. Matty lives in Austin, Texas with a wonderful pup named Tonks, and is proudly Trans Non-Binary.
