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.

This will happen at Buddies in Bad Times Theatre in January 2023.”

*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. 

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.
