Ashley Ball
Artistic Director and Webmistress
Ashley Ball has been moving with Fluid Movement since 2016, and when she joined The Movement, she joined The Movement. She has been in over 25 Fluid Movement dance performances, six water ballets, one roller show, acted in three productions, lead multiple parade groups, directed numerous dance routines and water ballet scenes, produced four water ballets, and has made it her mission to create new avenues for director and leadership mentor opportunities and increased volunteer engagement within Fluid Movement.

Board of Directors
Robyn Stegman
President
Robyn is a familiar face to many, having written and produced the “Sinkholes, Sewers and Streams” water ballet and serving as green room captain in recent years. She's hilarious and brings knowledge from other Baltimore art groups like the Baltimore Improv Group.
Emily pelton
Treasurer
Coming soon! Get hyped!
Meg Young
Secretary
Growing up, kids teased Meg that she must sleep on a waterbed and have a starting block for her bathtub because of how much time she spent in the pool. When she moved back to Baltimore in 2018, a friend told Meg about a water ballet show filled with glitter and handmade costumes, and Meg was ready to get wet -- she joined Fluid Movement without ever seeing a show. Meg is excited to continue working with BCRP Pools on behalf of the FM Board, a role she also fulfills for Charm City Water Polo.
Katherine Offutt Ross
Board Floater
Katherine's first Fluid Movement experience was catching a glimpse of a flock of flamingos on roller skates at HonFest in Hampden, followed by Fluid Movement: The Water Ballet, both in the summer of 2019. These events had been dates with her now-husband, who was trying to sway her allegiance from her home in DC to his home in Baltimore. Less than 4 months later, she was signing paperwork on a house near Patterson Park. Did Katherine move to Baltimore for love, because DC rent was just too damn high, or for Fluid Movement? We may never know. A professional arts administrator, Katherine runs the development efforts for an arts support nonprofit, has spent a decade as a stage manager at the Maryland Renaissance Festival, and freelances as a properties and lighting designer in DC and Baltimore. Her non-performance-art loves are minor league baseball, beekeeping, and making stained glass.
Holly Grunebach
Board Floater
Holly has been part of Fluid Movement since 2018 when she swam in her first water ballet and has loved it ever since. She directed her first water ballet scene in 2022. Holly is looking forward to participating in Fluid Movement in a different way and making this organization that she cares so much about, the best it can be. Outside of Fluid Movement, Holly is a clinical manager at Johns Hopkins hospital.
