= Melanie Greene = Melanie Greene is a writer, dancer, and choreographer who works to heighten the dance performance experience by engaging all of the senses through her collection of dance works Methods of Perception. Greene has been described as a "movement-based artist taking on the world through a curious lens" who "[swirls] along the edges of the impossible and [swims] among the sea of the minority". She has performed for heroes of the dance world such as Sydnie L. Mosley and Paloma McGregor.

Methods of Perception
Greene, herself, states that her work "smells like delicious pomegranates and body sweat wrapped in fuzzy naked flesh and lacy garter belts". Her work has been presented at New York Live Arts, Dixon Place, Movement Research at Judson Church, Brooklyn Arts Exchange Upstart Festival, and Bronx Academy of Arts and Dance.
