Biography
Juli graduated from Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, New York with a degree in Dance and Anthropology, and worked in New York City from 2000-2012. She resides in Portland, Maine, and performs throughout the United State and internationally.
Work
Juli's performance of The Money Conversation is a dance that explores her relationship with money. She took her savings, $5,000 total, and gives out the money to those in the audiences who can then choose to keep it, or give it back to Juli. Juli did six performances of The Money Conversation in 2006. The Money Conversation toured nationally and internationally from 2007-2012 to sold-out houses in The Netherlands, Australia, New Zealand, London, Russia and around the United States.
Juli's 2015 performance, Tense Vagina: An Actual Diagnosis, deals with issues that she faced after childbirth. The Portland Press Herald called the performance "hysterical" and said that "Juli was not afraid to push some sacred boundaries as she explored the medical diagnosis and her role as a mother." The performance is partly interactive, where in one show, she ties an audience member's shoe, rocks a woman in her lap and helps a man blow his nose.
Juli continues to work on choreographing and creating new solo work as well as running her consulting firm, Surala Consulting. Surala Consulting specializes in strategic fundraising solutions catering to the New York City performing arts community.
She performed interpretive dance in the Portland, Maine City Council Chamber for the "Artist in the Chamber" program in 2017.
Awards
Juli is the recipient of the Arts Management Award from Brooklyn Arts Exchange in 2013.
Tense Vagina received a 2015-16 New England Foundation for the Arts NEST Touring Grant and a New England Foundation for the Arts New England Dance Fund Grant.
