Holly Bourdon Faust

As a lifelong mover, I take pride in being a fully embodied performer. I incorporate many movement modalities into my teaching, helping students work with their bodies’ natural patterns to find a deeper understanding of self, both onstage and off.

Holly Bourdon Faust joined Boston Conservatory at Berklee in 2024 as an assistant professor of theater, specializing in jazz dance.  

Faust is a native of Boston and has been working in education and professional dance and theater for close to a decade. She has worked with Tufts University (codirector/fight choreographer for Twelfth Night: A Musical Adaptation), University of Massachusetts Lowell (director, And Then There Were None), St. John’s Preparatory School (director, Eurydice; fight choreographer, She Kills Monsters), Lynnfield High School (director/choreographer for Mean Girls; choreographer for Mamma Mia!, Bye Bye Birdie, Footloose, Oklahoma!), and Newton South High School (choreographer for 9 to 5, Something Rotten). She has recently performed with Eventual Dance Company at Jacob’s Pillow, and was a permanent cast member for The Donkey Show: A Midsummer Night’s Disco at American Repertory Theater for four years.
