BRYAN KNOWLTON
AWARD WINNING DIRECTOR/CHOREOGRAPHER
MISSION
Welcome to bryanknowlton.org. As a professional Broadway dancer with over twenty years’ experience, his career has included Broadway, film, and television. Now, as an award winning Director/Choreographer, he brings his talent to a variety of productions that range from flashy large scale musicals to actor driven pieces with movement that enhances the story. Mr. Knowlton's aesthetic is to take pieces of iconic musical theatre that audiences know and love and provide a unique perspective. This approach, influenced by his identity as a first generation Latino American and member of the LGBTQ+ community, creates a culturally diverse narrative for theatergoers to consider and discuss well after they have left the theatre.
"Creating art that can impact the greater good is the most meaningful objective to which an artist can aspire."
-Bryan Knowlton
