Charlie Prince (1991) is a Lebanese performer and dance-maker.
He is interested in the place of the body within post-colonial imaginaries as a means to subvert and resist imperial legacies.
He seeks in form as conceiving origin in imagined space, towards the abyss of an imagined future and destablize cultural nostalgias in order to instil a progressive force, towards being a subject and not object of history.
As a performer, he has worked among others with, Compagnie Alias (CH), Ballet BC (CA), La Biennale di Venezia (dir. Marie Chouinard) and has been working with Omar Rajeh – Maqamat (LB/FR) as a performer and maker since 2016.
His choreographic work has been presented in several important festivals and theatres – including SPRING Festival (NL), Dansmakers (NL), Rencontres Chorégraphiques (FR), Oktoberdans (NO) and BIPOD (LB).
Charlie also holds a Bachelor of Music from McGill University.
In 2018 he received the Boghossian Foundation Prize for Dance and Performance awarded by Villa Empain in Brussels.
