Thompson is one of the nation’s most distinguished dance artists and is recognized for his role with Trisha Brown Dance Company, his company dance Tactics, his collaborations with Herberger Institute Professor Liz Lerman and him shifting of public vocabularies about dance.
Professor Thompson thrives by seeking out challenges of discovery that takes place within the moment, compositionally and conceptually. Complex articulation of multiple pathways through and between spaces are a main focus. With a passionate investigation in dance and physical theater, Professor Thompson creates connections somewhere between abstraction and narrative within a global context for the viewer. This constant throughout Thompson's creative research aligns with the mission and work of the Center for the Study of Race and Democracy.
