Garrett Coleman

Garrett Coleman is a two-time solo World Champion in Irish dance and has won 17 other national and international titles. In addition to Irish Step, he has trained in hip hop, tap, African stepping, contemporary movement, and martial arts. Garrett toured professionally with Riverdance, Trinity Irish Dance Company, Cherish the Ladies, The Chieftains, and others. He performed at the Kennedy Center in 2006 as a Presidential Scholar in the Arts, is a Young Arts award winner (top 2% of artistic talent in the U.S.), and has twice been named one of the “Top 100 Irish Americans” by Irish America Magazine. He is the cofounder of Hammerstep, a NYC-based dance company fusing Irish step with hip hop, stepping, and martial arts. Garrett has starred in Hammerstep performances worldwide from NYC’s Lincoln Center to London’s West End Palace Theatre to NBC’s “America’s Got Talent.” He has been granted artist residencies at New Museum's NEW INC and at the Nobel Prize-Winning Bell Labs as part of the highly selective Experiments in Art and Technology (E.A.T.) Program, following in the footsteps of artists like David Bowie, John Cage, and Robert Rauschenberg. Garrett is also the co-creator of the sci-fi theatre drama Indigo Grey, a narrative universe presented as episodic content including an award-winning film and a sold-out live immersive experience. His work has received critical acclaim from publications such as Rolling Stone, Billboard, Huffington Post, and Wired Magazine. Most recently, Garrett has been developing choreographic materials for Paradise Square, contributing as both a choreographer and featured performer for the show’s world premiere at Berkeley Repertory Theatre in 2019. Garrett is thrilled to return the production while also making his choreographic debut on Broadway with Paradise Square.
