Celia Green
Curator
Celia Green’s practice spans choreography, writing, creation, and performance. Within their work they often consider gender, the fragility of identity, and freedom as guiding forces.
As a choreographer, they have been in residence at Toronto Dance Theatre, at P.A.R.T.S in Brussels, Belgium, and participated in adelheid dance projects’ re:research program. Their solo show, WAH WAH WAH, has been presented at the SummerWorks Festival and most recently at English Theatre Berlin.
They are a recipient of the 2019 Theatre Centre Emerging artist award. Currently, they are developing a new ensemble performance work titled SOWWY, which is a part of Buddies in Bad Times Theatre’s Seeding Work program. Celia is also a birthworker.
Curatorial Statement
Celia Green curated and birthed a temporary space to nourish the bodies, souls, hearts, and asses of trans*, non-binary and gender non-conforming dancers, performing artists and creators. An invitation to return to your body and to feel good.
“Some things I am considering: care, pleasure, comfort, party streamers, surprise! a feeling of sexiness, the body, fun, the fact that 2023 will be raw and fresh when this happens, beauty.
What I hope for this to be : A place of arriving and becoming, a transition, a transitional space to exist in, a place of comfort, maybe it will feel like a liminal space, I hope it feels like magic.
*the asterisk in trans refers to the infinite identities that exist under the trans umbrella, such as: two-spirit, genderfluid, trans woman, trans man, trans-femme, trans-masc, genderqueer, non-binary, agender, the list goes on and on and is forever evolving. Anyone who self-identifies as existing under this umbrella is included in this definition.
Goodie Bag!
GOODIE BAG! was a week-long installation and event that offered free wellness services and goodies for trans* dancers and performers.
