Yasmine Lee is a New York–based movement director and choreographer whose work spans theater, film, television, large-scale events, music videos, and concert dance. She recently won a Barrymore Award for Outstanding Movement Direction/Choreography for Pig Iron Theater Company’s Franklin’s Key and a Gold Telly Award for her work on the World Expo opening ceremonies in Dubai. She choreographed David Byrne’s Social Distance Dance Club at the Park Avenue Armory and is part of the choreography team for his Who Is The Sky tour (now playing). She is also the tour choreographer of A Beautiful Noise: The Neil Diamond Musical (now playing).
Additional select credits include American Horror Story (FX), Made For Love (MAX), Megalopolis (Francis Ford Coppola), The Thing About Jellyfish (Berkeley Rep), Parable of the Sower Opera (Lincoln Center), and Wild Goose Dreams (The Public Theater). Lee has worked with Christina Aguilera, Andrea Bocelli, Angelique Kidjo, Norah Jones, Yo-Yo Ma, Andra Day, Katy Perry for SNL, and many others. She has contributed to numerous Broadway productions including A Beautiful Noise, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Once, RENT, The Crucible (2016 revival), as well as the immersive productions of Sweeney Todd and Let The Right One In.
Yasmine grew up surrounded by many forms of movement—street dance, classical training, experimental theater, Broadway, folk and vernacular dance. Her style reflects that hybrid. More than anything, she has been shaped by working alongside artists who are fearless about risk and vulnerability, which has taught her to always lead with curiosity and boldness.
