She was a founding member of Rent choreographer Marlies Yearby's Movin' Spirits Dance Theatre as well as of Sarah Skaggs Dance with whom she danced for five years; and has been nominated for a New York Dance and Performance (a.k.a. BESSIE) Award on more than one occasion.
Throughout her experiences with this extensive variety of performance groups, Wynn has spent the past decade in quest of a connection between the rhythmic and cultural influences of the African American modern dance traditions with the experimental traditions of contemporary European-American post-modern and dance/theater performance forms. Her quest has led her to work with a variety of African American choreographers who, like herself, were seeking to expand the definition of what it means to be an African American modern dancer in the 21st Century. In her classes as well as in her choreography, Wynn continues to recognize and challenge a wide range of stereotypes while committing to the continuous investigation of moving away from the necessarily expected movement style of any specific categorization.
