About Katherine Semchuk
Katherine Semchuk is an eastern european contemporary dance artist currently based in Tkaronto (Toronto). Originally from Amiskwaciwâskahikan (Edmonton), she has been establishing herself in cities across the country, performing and working with artists across many disciplines. She’s collaborated with Good Women Dance Collective, Kaeja d’Dance, and more. Semchuk is passionate about cultivating community and the power of dance as a primary form; she coordinates a training platform called westside movement sessions in Tkaronto, is part of the faculty at Dance Arts Institute and rehearsal directs for William Yong/Zata Omm.
Semchuk has created choreography with and for the musical projects of Julian Anderson-Bowes, Black Fish Project, Charsu Quartet, Jordan Hart, Younggun Kim and Mear. Through an improvisational practice, the investigation of solo work, and choreographic processes, she continues to dissect her artistic values. She’s fascinated by the use of spirals, momentum and opposition/conflict in the body, stability and change, and integrates these ideas into her ever-evolving creative practice.
