Nyda Kwasowsky

Artist

Nyda Kwasowsky is a multi-disciplinary performing artist and emerging choreographer of Indo-Caribbean, British and Ukrainian ancestry. She orients towards abolitionist approaches rooted in experimentation, improvisation and community. Libratory practices motivate her creative senses beyond representation and strive for practices that are transformative and embodied, without erasing her identity both present, past and future.

Her work centers around grief, hybridity and longing in a racialized diasporic experience. Studied in somatics and trauma informed practices, a practitioner in TCM cupping and Auricular Acupuncture and training in Harm Reduction, Restorative Justice, Polyvagal Certified, craftworks, Earthwork and studying as a Birth Doula. Her most recent explorations look at the intersections of cultural materiality and the moving dancing performing body.
