Rainey Scarborough is a New York City–based multimedia artist, movement director, choreographer, producer, and educator working across performance, dance, photography, and movement education. Originally from the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina, she graduated with a degree in Photography and Media & Journalism from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and is a 200-hour certified yoga instructor through the Asheville Yoga Center.

Rainey’s work weaves together movement, visual storytelling, and narrative to explore themes of connection, embodiment, and transformation. Rooted in somatic and interdisciplinary practice, she approaches movement as both an artistic and spiritual inquiry.

As the founder of Conjure Arts Collective, she produces multidisciplinary performances, workshops, and community events that celebrate collaboration and experimentation.

In addition to her choreographic and performance work, Rainey is an accomplished portrait and movement photographer with a distinct eye for capturing movement and emotion on film and for the camera. Across all of her practices, she seeks to create immersive, embodied experiences.
