Originally from Asheville, North Carolina, Win McCain graduated from the North Carolina School of the Arts high school program with a concentration in ballet. Under the direction of current ABT artistic director Susan Jaffe, he performed works by Ethan Stiefel, Goyo Montero, and Alexei Kremnev. Following his time at UNCSA, he attended the USC Glorya Kaufman School of Dance where he majored in both dance and political science. He has performed work by William Forsythe, Ohad Naharin, Jiří Kylián, and Barak Marshall among others while he was in school. While at USC, Win focused on developing his choreographic voice through creating numerous works for the stage and screen, often in collaboration with musicians and composers. Post graduation Win has continued to produce his own work, releasing an evening length show “RIPE” on digital platforms this past April. He is also an eager student of improv and comedy performance. While seemingly unrelated, his choreographic work uses comedy as a mechanism to advance his commentary on political events and issues. He hopes to use his knowledge of political science to center dance as social activism and a powerful force in political change. He is interested in the potential dancers have to create lasting impact on how we engage in political participation. In the fall, Win will be joining Theater Regensburg in Germany as a company member where he will continue his performance and choreographic career.
