Sara Pauley is a multi-talented performing artist that lives in New York City. Able to work easily in multiple genres and styles, Sara's work has ranged from performing classic drawing room period pieces with Shaw Festival's Paxton Whitehead, to working on an independent film under the direction of Neil Labute. Sara has studied with such internationally known artists as The  Workcenter for Jerzy Grotowski, Pig Iron Theater Company and The Wooster Group and currently performs and devises art with  noted downtown NYC companies The Assembly and Waterwell Productions. 

Sara has lent her voice to cartoons, industrials, toy fairs  and also has appeared as both a vixen and a wholesome young mother on many a television commercial aired on CBS, A&E and The History Channel.

 In addition to performance, Sara has been a student of movement for over 15 years and has choreographed movement for productions at Stella Adler and The Collapsable Hole and is certified in Mat and Apparatus Pilates. Prior to receiving a space grant through CHASHAMA for her post feminist performance art piece, LEGSHOW, she directed and produced Samuel Beckett's rarely produced television play, QUAD, and the site specific production of Lanford Wilson's Balm in Gilead in a diner for The Philadelphia Fringe Festival. 

Sara believes that performance is a way to transcend boundaries of time, culture and place to create a common voice.
