Paige Geissler

Performer

Originally from Chicago, Paige Geissler began her professional dance training under Kate Jablonski at Beyond Words Dance Company. During this time, she had the honor of performing off-Broadway in Jablonski’s 2010 production of Beyond Words at New World Stages Theatre in New York. In 2014, she also performed with Jablonski’s professional company, The Kate Jablonski Statement, in Tabula Rasa, sponsored by Dance Chicago.

In 2016, Paige moved to Long Beach, California, to pursue her BFA in Dance at California State University, Long Beach, where she received a dance scholarship. There, she was featured in works by guest artists Mark Morris and Kevin Williamson, as well as numerous faculty and student pieces.

Paige has toured extensively, with a notable highlight being her performances with The Kate Jablonski Statement in their production Dream State in Šibenik, Croatia, during the summer of 2022. She has also performed with Chicago-based companies Alluvion Dance Chicago and Aerial Dance Chicago. In 2023, Paige had the honor to work with FLOCK and Juliano Nunes in Italy.

As a choreographer and performer, Paige's work delves into vulnerability and human connection, exploring effortless movement dynamics. Her most recent choreographic collaboration with Lauren Malone, Two Perspectives, was presented at Eccles Theater in Salt Lake City, Utah, in the spring of 2025.

Paige moved to Portland, OR in August 2024 and joined push/FOLD as a company dancer in 2025. Alongside her dance career, Paige is a certified Pilates instructor (Body Arts and Science International with a Dance Specialization) and enjoys rock climbing.
