Artist Bio
Andrea Nann
Andrea Nann/Dreamwalker (she/her) dances to reach across distance and to experience herself and others in celebration of possibility, plurality, imagination, originality, and belonging. She is a contemporary dance artist, deep listener, founding artist of Dreamwalker Dance Company, and founder/co-creator of Conscious Bodies, an embodied community practice. Andrea is graduate of York University’s Department of Fine Arts and has contributed to the creation of new works by over 70 dance and theatre creators from across Turtle Island. She danced with Danny Grossman Dance Company for 15 years and has been recognized for outstanding choreography, performance, contributions to the performing arts sector and for her work in community actioning. For Andrea, dance and embodiment can shift attitudes and ways of being, tuning us into what makes each of us distinct, to what we share, and ultimately how we can live together in wonderment and peace.
