Miranda Dahl, Owner & Promotional Mixologist

Miranda co-owns and runs her own arts and performance space, Prototype 237, in Paterson, New Jersey, wearing many hats as a Director of Operations, Marketing and Outreach Specialist, Social Media and Web Manager, and Executive Artistic Partner. She founded Workaholic Media, a design and marketing house for affordable promotional materials and strategies after grinding for her own small business. Her expertise is home-grown, tested over years of non-profit management and her own small business goals. She brings a highly personal touch to all of her client-based work and strongly believes in collaborative working relationships. Miranda served as the Technical Manager at The Tank (Manhattan), an incubator theater serving upwards of 2000 emerging artists each year, until the summer of 2023. Prior, She served as the Theater Manager of Art House Productions (Jersey City), where she also co-produced the Your Move Modern Dance Festival in 2019 and received a Stage Manager’s Award for Excellence from the New Jersey Theater Alliance. Miranda also worked as the Booking Coordinator for NEVILLE Dance Theatre (Manhattan) in 2020. Miranda graduated from Pratt Institute in 2018, with a BFA in printmaking and a minor in cultural studies. In 2017, she attended London’s Central Saint Martins to study performance design. Miranda has worked in production for several years taking on various roles as Co-Producer, Director, Stage Manager, Media Technician, and Tabulator.

Growing up, Miranda trained extensively in contemporary, jazz, ballet, and hip hop dance at Dancefx, a not-for-profit studio in Athens, GA, where she also choreographed for Dancefx Concert Dance Company, the FX Performance companies, and Xtensity. During the summer of 2009, she studied at the American Dance Festival School in Durham, North Carolina, training with choreographers from companies such as Shen Wei Dance Arts and The Forsythe Company. Her artistic interests consider the link between fine art and performance--how they combine to inform and develop each other. Miranda deeply loves art, artists, community, and always finding a good time to be had…anywhere!
