California native Markeith Wiley is a multi-dimensional art maker, who creates out of necessity. Their vast movement vocabulary spans a lifetime of influences.

When they are not in the studio you can find Markeith at Rainier Dance Center in Rainier Beach as the director of hip hop/street styles dance, choreographing with Seattle Children’s Theatre or at Markeith’s alma mater Cornish College of the Arts.
Markeith has performed or collaborated with Kitten N Lou, Dani Tirrell, On the Boards, the CD Forum & many other national/international artists. Prior to shelter in place Wiley hosted a DJ event at Vermillion Art Gallery & Bar with Alice Gosti and started a monthly performance party at Studio Current called SC Sessions.
