Lucy M. May (she/they) is a dance artist born in Eqpahak/Wolastokuk/Fredericton and based in Tiohtiá:ke/Mooniyang/Montréal since 2003.

Improvisation resides at the heart of their work as a dancer, creator, and teacher, nourished by experiences performing with Marie Chouinard, Margie Gillis, independent projects, and in CHSLDs. Since 2018, she has been mentored by Jigsaw aka Ozkar the Grouch in the street dance Krump, battling as Pluto aka Ravage Grouch. Their studies in Contemporary dance were completed at l’École de danse contemporaine de Montréal and CODARTS | Rotterdamse Dansacademie.
