Lauren Valerie Coons is an interdisciplinary dancer, composer, performer, and educator from Albuquerque, New Mexico. She synthesizes her background in music, dance, and creative writing through the composition of intermedia performance pieces for a broad range of instrumentation, electronics, movement, written and spoken word, and visual art. A strong believer in the power of creativity as a positive means of interpersonal connectivity, Lauren creates works which invite performers and audiences to participate in the creative process either through improvisation, collaborative interpretation of non-traditional notation, or contributing material via social media. She has composed works for a number of Albuquerque artists and institutions including the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center Orchestra, the University of New Mexico Art Museum, Abrepaso Flamenco, and Albuquerque’s Hear Here Festival. Lauren holds a Master of Music degree in Music Theory & Composition and Musicology from the University of New Mexico.

Current projects related to Maple Street Dance Space are “Tree Being” and “Artbox Albqueruqe”.
