Performances

Aria (they/she/he) is a queer, award winning interdisciplinary artist who’s practice spans dance, theatre and film. As a professor, public speaker, activist and creative leader, Aria draws on their experiences of being multiracial. Aria is a certified Intimacy Coordinator, and with a large-scale vision, collaboration is the departure point to the choreographic work that Aria creates under their dance theatre company, POLITICAL MOVEMENT.

Aria has worked as a Movement Director and/or Choreographer for a number of leading arts organizations with highlights including the Canadian Opera Company (Aportia Chryptych: A Black Opera for Portia White), Tarragon Theatre (3 Fingers Back), Soulpepper Theatre (Kamloopa) and the Stratford Festival (Every Little Nookie), to name a few.

Advocating for inclusion and the representation of diversity, Aria uses their artistic practice to question the ways we can coexist together.
