Ellen Furey is a Tiohtiá:ke/Montreal based choreographer working in experimental and contemporary dance. Since 2012, she has primarily participated in discursive and collaborative processes emphasizing the messiness of subjectivities. Her work solicits the potentials of dance virtuosity and sense of spectacle as materials to create liveliness, oblique rebellions and debates – always interwoven with a strong dose of ambiguity. She has had the opportunity to work with, for and alongside artists such as Malik Nashad Sharpe, Dana Michel, Christopher Willes, Dancemakers, Audrée Juteau, N. Zoey Gauld, Catherine Lavoie-Marcus, Paul Chambers, Andrew Tay, Stephen Thompson, Simon Portigal, Hanako Hoshimi-Caines, Alanna Stuart, Romy Lightman, and has danced in works by Daniel Léveillé, Frédérick Gravel, Marten Spangberg (Sweden), Tina Tarpgaard (Denmark), Sasha Kleinplatz and Clara Furey. From 2019 to 2022, she served as artistic advisor/co-curator at Danse-Cité. In 2023, she will be the artist in residence at Cape Breton University.
