Avery D. Wilson
A Son. An Artist. A Movement Storyteller.
A Life Told in Movement
I’m Avery, a creative who believes love matters. For more than twenty years, my work has moved through stages, classrooms, film sets, studios, and leadership spaces. Rooted in craft and faith, I’m returning to artistic spaces with a desire to bring that range to people and projects centered on movement, growth, creative expression, and meaningful work. Adventure is my life.
A Career Made to Move
From multidisciplinary performances on stage to appearances on screen, I’ve been blessed with a life shaped by the arts. I saw myself as a modern ‘Renaissance Man’ but I was a textbook jack of all trades and master of none. Today, I’m less interested in what achievement can bring and solely focused on where my gifts and lessons learned can serve in a specialized way.
Servant Leadership: MLK, MAO, & MUS

Professional Firsts: Dance, Film & Reality TV
A dancer at the Lido de Paris, debut SAG-AFTRA film work including Queen & Slim and BOLDEN, plus the inaugural season of BET's College Hill
A Second-Mountain Season
After years of chasing goals and ambitious pursuits, I’ve entered a different kind of surrendered season. One shaped by deeper questions: What am I here to give? Who am I becoming? And how might what I’ve learned become useful to someone else? I’m drawn to people standing at their own crossroads, whether in their artistry, work, wellness, relationships, or overall sense of purpose.
How We Might Begin…
Our creative nexus can be organic and uniquely our own. I believe every working relationship starts with a conversation. Perhaps we talk about what you’re looking for, where you are, and what the project or goal requires. From there, we figure out what makes sense and whether there’s a meaningful way to work together.
Now On The Floor
The Floor
Season 6 · FOX
A Season of Champions
This season, I’m stepping back onto the screen for Season 6 of The Floor, FOX’s competition bringing 100 champions together to compete for $250,000.
For me, it’s a full-circle moment: a chance to compete, bring years of work and performance experience to the floor, and step into a new chapter with some of what has shaped me along the way. Sharing that experience with a cast of champions from so many different walks of life has been both humbling and unforgettable. I’m grateful for the opportunity to be part of something that brought so many accomplished people into one room, and onto one floor.
Season 6 premieres Wednesday, September 23 at 8 PM ET/PT on FOX, with new episodes airing Wednesdays. More from the experience is still to come. For now, I’d love for you to watch and follow along for a wild ride!
