Lucy Rupert

Artist

Lucy is a dancer, choreographer, art-science researcher, and writer. She has performed with Fujiwara Dance Inventions, Theatre Rusticle, Nova Dance, Anandam Dance, Sashar Zarif Dance, Puppetmongers Theatre, Circus Orange, and Chartier Danse, among others.

In 2004 Lucy founded Blue Ceiling dance, an umbrella for her choreography and commissions, performing throughout Ontario, in New York, Montreal and Stuttgart, Germany. Her creations are inspired by cosmology, biology and philosophy – anything from monsters to photons to the end of the universe.

Lucy has a Joint Honours BA in Dance and Music (the singular degree of this kind ever awarded by the University of Waterloo), and an MA in History (University of Toronto). She lives with her husband and son, and two feral cats, in a magical neighbourhood full of coyotes and old trees.
