Lara Kramer is a performer, choreographer and multidisciplinary artist of mixed Anishnaabe, Oji-Cree and settler heritage based in Tiohtià:ke/Mooniyang/Montreal. Her choreographic work, research and fieldwork over the last fourteen years have been grounded in intergenerational relations, intergenerational knowledge, and the impacts of the Indian Residential Schools of Canada.
Her creations in the form of dance, performance and installation have been presented across Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Martinique, the US and the UK. Her practice includes sound, video, and visual art.
Lara’s work expands on her relational practice to express and represent embodied experiences like memory, loss, and reclamation. In 2021, Lara joined the MAI as an associate artist and programming curator for the MAI’s 25th anniversary season. Lara Kramer is a Centre de Création O Vertigo – CCOV Associate Artist since 2021.
