Joseph Davis was born and raised in the beautiful hills of
upstate New York and can be easily identified
from a distance by his cacophonous laughter. He began his
studies at The Draper Center for Dance
Education in Rochester, New York and continued his training
at The Juilliard School on tuition scholarship
from New York City Dance Alliance, where he received his
BFA under the direction of Lawrence Rhodes.
Joseph has had the opportunity to perform works of Jíri
Kylián, Crystal Pite, Sol Leon and Paul Lightfoot,
Kyle Abraham, Shannon Gillen, Twyla Tharp, Martha Graham,
JoséLimón, Camille A. Brown, Joeri Dubbe
and Sylvain Emard. He has also performed alongside Brian
Brooks Moving Company at New York City
Center’s Fall for Dance Festival, and in Kate Weare’s
residency at BAM Fisher Hall. Joseph joined
BODYTRAFFIC in 2016 where he tours internationally and is
featured in works by Sidra Bell, Stijn Celis,
Barak Marshall, Matthew Neenan, Joshua L. Peugh, Arthur
Pita, Victor Quijada, Hofesh Shechter, Richard
Siegal, and Wewolf.
