Lyra Mayfield is a modern dance choreographer, performer, and Registered
Somatic Movement Therapist and Educator. Living in the foothills of Boulder,
Colorado, Lyra’s dancing is inspired by the surrounding Rocky Mountains
and the wildness of nature, which she immerses herself in regularly.
Lyra’s choreography reflects her choice to embrace a path that
is lead by her heart and is creatively sparked by her appreciation for
Life. She is interested in creating dances that express beauty, reflect
emotion, and inspire connection.
Co-Artistic Director of Open Door Dance Theatre for 10 years, her company
has been the recipient of numerous grants and fellowships for choreography
and production. Lyra is now exploring solo and independent work, as well
as enjoying working with other choreographers.
