Early life

Elswit grew up in New York City.

Education

Elswit received a B.A. and B.S. from Northwestern University in 2002 before being awarded a Marshall Scholarship to complete a M.A. at the Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance, and then a Ph.D. at the University of Cambridge. Her dissertation dealt with Weimar era dance audiences and modernism, under the direction of supervisor Lucia Ruprecht.

Elswit was a Mellon Fellow at Stanford University from 2009-2012, and then a senior lecturer in theatre and performance studies at the University of Bristol from 2012-2016. She was appointed reader at Central in 2016 and later appointed full professor.

Moving Data Studio

In 2021, Elswit co-founded the information visualization and interaction design company Moving Data Studio, with Ohio State University professor Harmony Bench. Their project Dunham's Data: Katherine Dunham and Digital Methods for Dance Historical Inquiry won the 2021 ATHE/ASTR Award for Excellence in Digital Scholarship.

Moving Data Studio's breakaway archival and information visualization installation on dancer and choreographer Alvin Ailey was commissioned by the Whitney Museum of American Art exhibition Edges of Ailey exhibit in 2024.

Performance and art

As a modern dancer, Elswit has performed with Hedwig Dances, Lucky Plush Productions, Felix Ruckert, and others. She collaborates with Swedish choreographer Rani Nair as dramaturg and historian on the Future Memory project. Elswit was also choreographer and performer in Breath Catalogue, which "combined choreographic methods with medical technology to create a cabinet of breath curiosities in performance."
