Lyzah / Alyssa is an experimental dance artist, an emergent web designer, a vessel for light and an alchemizer of energy. They create, choreograph, produce, collaborate, and facilitate across Turtle Island. Since graduating Modus Operandi their own work has been supported by Circuit-Est centre choréographique, Nextfest (Edmonton), The Dance Centre (Vancouver), and StudioDb (Berlin). Particularly pouring energy into wh/aacking and partner dance including hustle and contact improvisation. With ongoing mentorship in wh/aacking from Marie-Reine “Mqueen” Kabasha, in hustle from Samuelle Auclair and Victor “Savage Rock” Vân Tran, and in creation with Arash Khakpour. As a collaborator they work with choreographers including Helen Simard / We All Fall Down Creations (Montreal) and Khoudia Touré / Compagnie Khor (France/Senegal). Their own choreography dives into the multiplicity of the individual, ancestral and collective experience. Lyzah feels resonant and grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with Justin de Luna at Montréal Danse’ choreographic workshop.
