about the artist ↓
Clara Furey is a choreographer and performer based in Tiohtià:ke/Montreal. She explores the codes that travel in and across various art forms. She looks at encouraging an awakening of the sensorial perceptions of the audience and the performers, giving them emotive immediacy, direct access.

After completing musical training at the Conservatoire de Paris, she trained as a dancer at the École de danse contemporaine de Montréal and later worked with choreographers such as George Stamos, Damien Jalet, and Benoît Lachambre. In 2017, she choreographed her first group work, Cosmic Love. She also gave 90 performances of her solo piece When Even The as part of the MAC exhibition honouring Leonard Cohen. In 2019 she created Rather a Ditch, a solo piece performed by Céline Bonnier.With Dog Rising (2021), Furey concludes her exploration of tension and immobility, freeing previously contained energies in a performance focusing on persistence, groove and pleasure. With her latest creation, UNARMOURED (2024), she calls for an erotism on her terms. A polyphonic architecture of pleasure.

Her works toured in numerous festivals including the Biennale of Venice, the Festival TransAmériques in Montreal, ImPulsTanz in Vienna, Performance Mix in New-York City, Fierce Festival in Birmingham, B-Motion in Bassano del Grappa, and in different countries such as Lithuania, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Spain, The Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Azerbaïdjan, and Bulgaria. Continuing international tours, she also regularly teaches workshops.

acknowledgements ↓
Toronto Dance Love-In is thankful to gather on the traditional Indigenous territory of Tkaronto. This is the ancestral and unceded land of the Wyandot people, Haudenosaunee, Anishinaabeg and Mississaugas of the Credit. We recognize them and any other Nations acknowledged and unacknowledged, recorded and unrecorded as the past, present and future caretakers of this Land. We are grateful to the Elders and Story-keepers who have been telling the story of this Land for generations. At Love-In, we are actively learning how to honour and upkeep the protocols of this territory and live in alignment with the treaties of this region. With these words we honour the Land and its caretakers. We commit to challenging the ongoing injustices and the impact of colonialism by providing spaces that operate from an anti-oppressive, social justice perspective.

Thank you to the Canada Council for the Arts and Toronto Arts Council for their generous support.
