Sullivan, is an American dancer and choreographer and the founder of safety release technique in postmodern dance. Early life and educationElizabeth Johnson Sullivan began her dance training in classical ballet and modern dance with Sandy Stramonine in Walworth, New York.

She has shown her work at the North Carolina Dance Festival, Independent Dance Makers in Durham, DNA Gene Pool Series, the Dance Gallery Festival in New York City, the Isadora Project in New York City, Urban Wash Dance Company in New York City, the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, Chelonia Dance Ensemble in Beloit, Wisconsin, Counter Groove Dance Company in Detroit, Michigan, Concepts in Motion in Bermuda, and the Professional School Dance Ensemble in Thessaloniki, Greece. In 2016, her choreography was performed in Vienna, Austria, at Northwestern State University, at SUNY Purchase in New York, Florida State College at Jacksonville, and by Concepts in Motion dance company in Bermuda. She also served as a guest faculty member at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities and James Madison University.[5] In 2016, Sullivan joined the faculty of the American Dance Festival and The Korean Dance Festival in Seoul, South Korea.
