Since graduating from the École de danse contemporaine de Montréal in 2015, Stefania Skoryna has performed for Mélanie Demers, PÉTRUS/Jérémie Niel, Parts +Labour_Danse and 14 lieux/Martin Messier, among others. She currently dances for Quebec City choreographer Marie-Chantale Béland.
Her fascination with the relationship between dance and other artistic disciplines has led her to collaborate with a variety of disciplines: comedy, opera, theater, gymnastics, digital arts, video and musique actuelle. Creations from these collaborations have been presented by Tangente, Dance Matters (Toronto), Centre PHI and MUTEK, among others. It was here that she discovered the vast possibilities of storytelling, characters and the pleasure of transporting audiences into fictional worlds through movement.
Her involvement in the performing arts community plays a key role in her practice. She has been teaching dance since 2010, is co-founder/general coordinator of Nous Sommes L’Été and co-coordinator of the Écotone platform for fundamental research in the performing arts. Stefania also mentors artists in their career development.
