Meghan Bingle and Lauren Harrison are the dynamic duo behind 32 Flavors. Both holding BFAs in Dance from Arizona State University, their degrees are not the only thing that make them successful. With over 15 years of dance experience each, Bingle and Harrison both bring a different set of cards to the table.

Bingle drives the car to the edge of the cliff while Harrison has the genius to make a parachute on the way down and keep both from drowning.

Over-achievers who inspire each other, friends who make each other laugh, and leaders that keep each other in check; they do one thing for sure; they create DANCE that is truly ART.

Meghan Bingle is an Arizona native and 2006 graduate of Arizona State University, receiving her BFA in Dance Choreography and minor in Theatre. Upon her graduation, she was given the 2006 Outstanding Dance Choreographer Award from ASU, and was named as a winner of the 2006 Arizona Choreography Competition for her piece DdawMeno Fxect5 which was commissioned by Glendale Community College.

She has worked with several professional guest artists including Yin Mei, Thaddeus Davis, and Delfos Danza Contemporanea- to name a few. She has studied at the Limon summer workshop and Bates Dance Festival, working with a variety of artists. As a student, she also collaborated with the Theatre Department while choreographing her piece, Submerge, as well as the Arts Media, and Engineering program where she was a part of Lucidity; a work done in conjunction with the motione project. The motione project was a series of interactive multimedia works, utilizing new motion capture and analysis systems with interactive technologies. Supported in part by The National Endowment for the Arts, The National Science Foundation, Motion Analysis Corporation, and ASU Public Events; it brought together choreographers Trisha Brown and Bill T. Jones; media artists Paul Kaiser, Shelley Eshkar and Marc Downie; composers Roger Reynolds and Curtis Bahn; and lighting designer Robert Weirzel.

Bingle has received many awards including the University Scholarship, Regents Scholarship, Summer Study Scholarships, and the Katherine K.

She served as President and Treasurer of the Dance Student Advisory Board, and her own choreography shown in ASU dance department productions includes Delirium, Downgrade, A Second _____, Airborne in Middle-class Suburbia, and DdawMeno Fxect5.

Her choreography has been shown around the valley not only at Arizona State University but Glendale Community College, the Herberger Theatre, Peoria Center for the performing Arts, Mesa Arts Center’s Nesbitt Elliot Theatre, and Tempe Center for the Arts.

Besides dance, Bingle enjoys many other creative outlets which feed her artistic visions.
