Hannah Staton and Faith Blue Magee – Loam Dance Company

by Beth Elliott

Faith Blue Magee and Hannah Staton are freelance performing artists based in Dallas, Texas and co-directors of Loam Dance Co. Faith received her BA from the University of North Texas and has trained with Zion Dance Project. She recently participated in a research program with Evelien Jansen through Arts&Studios and was part of the Creation Lab with Bombshell Dance Project in February 2025. Hannah, originally from Thailand, began dancing in 2005 and earned her BFA in Contemporary Dance with a minor in Arts Entrepreneurship from the University of North Carolina School of the Arts. Her experience includes performing with SUAH African Dance Theatre, training with Zion Dance Project, and most recently, performing in Flies with Bombshell Dance Project.

Together, Faith and Hannah co-direct Loam, a contemporary dance company rooted in the exploration of ease in movement. Loam investigates how the body can move when tension is released and continual falling becomes the foundation of motion—pushing deeper into the possibilities of letting go.
