Bio

Milo Longenecker is an actor, movement artist, writer, musician and educator based in Brooklyn, NY. He earned a BFA in Theatre from NYU Tisch, and has been creating, producing, and performing theater in NYC since 2013. 

His live performance resume runs the Off-Broadway gamut, from The Public Theater to Rattlestick Playwrights Theatre to The Connelly to Theatre Row. A uniquely well-rounded collaborator, Milo has participated in the development of new works at forward-thinking institutions such as Labyrinth Theater Company, Pipeline Theater Company, Ars Nova, New York Theatre Workshop, and LaMaMa. 

He was the voice of Trans Day of Visibility on Nickelodeon, English dubbed a season of Too Hot to Handle: Brazil, and has lent his voice to commercials for Geico, Hot Pockets, Samsung, and more. 

Milo’s dance training spans 15+ years and includes ballet, jazz, modern, contemporary, and tap. He is well-versed in movement practices that bridge the gap between theatre and dance including Viewpoints, Suzuki, and Contact Improvisation. He is best known for his impulse-driven movement improvisation work which he applies as an actor to create fully embodied characters, as a choreographer to generate distinct, intuitive movement that fluently fulfills aesthetic and storytelling needs, and as a facilitator/educator to inspire performers and students toward the connection between the physical and feeling bodies and awaken their innate compositional and expressive potential.

His facilitation experience includes choreographing The Apple Tree at Pace University’s Sands College of Performing Arts, teaching original workshops like Move/Make (intro to movement research, composition, and devising) at IRT Theater, and providing identity-affirming dance audition coaching for LGBTQIA+ performers. 

Milo is also the published author of personal essays on the topics of gender, sexuality, pop culture, and coming of age. (Read his most recently published article here.)
