Joseph Davis was born and raised in the beautiful hills of upstate New York and can be easily identified from a distance by his cacophonous laughter. He began his studies at The Draper Center for Dance Education in Rochester, New York and continued his training at The Juilliard School on tuition scholarship from New York City Dance Alliance, where he received his BFA under the direction of Lawrence Rhodes. Joseph has had the opportunity to perform works of Jíri Kylián, Crystal Pite, Sol Leon and Paul Lightfoot, Kyle Abraham, Shannon Gillen, Twyla Tharp, Martha Graham, JoséLimón, Camille A. Brown, Joeri Dubbe and Sylvain Emard. He has also performed alongside Brian Brooks Moving Company at New York City Center’s Fall for Dance Festival, and in Kate Weare’s residency at BAM Fisher Hall. Joseph joined BODYTRAFFIC in 2016 where he tours internationally and is featured in works by Sidra Bell, Stijn Celis, Barak Marshall, Matthew Neenan, Joshua L. Peugh, Arthur Pita, Victor Quijada, Hofesh Shechter, Richard Siegal, and Wewolf.
