Her work investigates how vernacular traditions and embodied collaboration function as vital sites of cultural memory, community storytelling, and identity formation. Drawing from three decades of practice across jazz, tap, lyrical, musical theatre, competitive Ballroom and Latin dance, and a range of social dance forms, she approaches movement as both an analytic methodology and a lived archive of cultural and social exchange.\r\n\r\nHer artistic and pedagogical inquiries intersect with cross\u2011cultural communication theory, Afro\u2011Caribbean dance and music traditions, somatic investigation, and studies of improvisation and social practice. Fieldwork in Panam\u00e1 and China has deepened her understanding of dance as a critical mode of transnational dialogue, informing long\u2011term work in community\u2011based arts education as well as choreographic and instructional collaborations with professional musical theatre companies, K\u201312 arts programs, and immersive and experimental theatre.\r\n\r\nCarina\u2019s choreography, teaching, and research explore the intersections of language, culture, and embodied narrative, positioning dance as a methodology for generating, preserving, and reinterpreting knowledge. She views movement as both record and revelation\u2014an embodied archive through which lived experience, cultural histories, and collective memory are carried forward and continually reimagined.\r\n\r\nB.S in Liberal Studies, Northern Arizona University\r\nM.F.A. in Dance, Montclair State University\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;]<div class=\"eut-element eut-box-icon eut-align-left eut-medium eut-animated-item eut-fadeInUp\" style=\"\" data-delay=\"200\"><a href=\"mailto:carina.fourmyle@ucr.edu\" target=\"_blank\"><div class=\"eut-wrapper-icon eut-no-shape eut-color-grey\"><i class=\"fas fa-envelope eut-color-primary-1\"><\/i><\/div><\/a>  <div class=\"eut-box-content\"><a href=\"mailto:carina.fourmyle@ucr.edu\" target=\"_blank\">    <div class=\"eut-box-title-wrapper\">      <h4 class=\"eut-box-title\">carina.fourmyle@ucr.edu<\/h4>    <\/div><\/a>  <\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row]","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text animation=&#8221;fadeInUp&#8221;]CARINA FOURMYLE\u00a0 (She\/Her) Lecturer Carina is a dance artist, educator, and scholar whose research examines the cultural histories and social practices of partner and social dance forms across the Americas.
