Choreographer Bio

Lin Snelling has toured the world extensively as performer with Carbone 14 (1989-2001). As choreographer, performer and teacher, she continues to investigate, perform and teach improvisation, both as a tool for creating choreographic material and a way to keep performances alive and present which has cultivated an exploration into bodywork in relation to dance and the spoken, sung and written word. An interest in multidisciplinary art and reinvention fuels her choreographies, and she creates works, and collaborates with choreographers and directors, throughout Canada and Europe; most recently in Austria, Athens, Belgium, Cyprus and the UK with Repeating Distance, a collaboration with the dramaturge Guy Cools. Lin is presently teaching dance and improvisation to actors in the Drama Faculty at the University of Alberta, and working on the Room Residency a performance process including 11 artists of diverse disciplines.
