As the Director for the Marlin Miller Dance Residency Program and a board member of the NY State DanceForce partner of NYSCA, Angier curates/presents artists from around the world to engage with audiences in western NY. She has been a speaker and workshop educator nationally and internationally including several Prague Quadrennials (PQ) since 2011 and World Stage Design.
