Laura Foreman

Laura Foreman (died 2001) was a dancer, choreographer, visual artist, writer and director of dance at New School University.

Foreman worked primarily in dance for the first decade of her time in Manhattan, operating both the Laura Foreman Dance Company and Composers' and Choreographers' Theatre with her husband, John Watts.

Perhaps her most well-known piece was 1981's "Wallwork," a collaboration with Watts which took the form of a rigorous advertising campaign for a nonexistent performance.

After Watts's death in 1982, Foreman's work shifted towards visual art and writing.

In 1997, Close Encounters, a volume of Foreman's short stories, was published by Outloud Books.
