A Contemporary Choreography Showcase
 
November 21 & 22, 2025

Derion Loman launched his dance career at 19, blending a B.A. in Psychology and a B.F.A. in Dance from the University of California Santa Barbara into a vision where intellect meets movement.

He first captivated audiences with Ballet Hispanico’s Second Company—including at the 2013 Presidential Inauguration—and later joined Pilobolus's Dance Theatre (2013–2017), collaborating with trailblazers like Sidi Larbi, Avshalom Poluk and Imbal Pinto, OKGO, Javier De Frutos, and Penn and Teller.

Never content to rest on his laurels, Derion toured with Diavolo Architecture in Motion, earning recognition as a finalist on America’s Got Talent and as a divisional finalist on NBC’s World of Dance Season 3 and at the 2019 Emmy Awards. His creative influence has graced stages for Dallas Black Dance Theatre, Google, 2Point4 Dance Company, and more—culminating in a celebrated victory at the Pacific Northwest Ballet Film Festival.

In 2024, he received the prestigious honor of being one of eight choreographers selected for the Ann & Weston Hicks Choreographic Fellowship, a testament to his relentless pursuit of artistic innovation.

Expanding his creative reach, Derion served as the inaugural guest creative director for 3rd Angle New Music, where he was commissioned to design and choreograph groundbreaking work. He also extended his collaborative spirit globally by working with internationally known K-pop star Jackson Wang.

In 2025, Derion rejoined Pilobolus's Dance Theatre as an Artistic Associate, marking his most recent accomplishment—a full-circle return to the company that first ignited his passion. Through his work, Derion deeply champions diversity, striving to leave audiences with the message, “All are welcome here.”
