BIOGRAPHY

Clara Furey is a choreographer and performer based in Tiohtià:ke/Montreal. After completing musical training at the Conservatoire de Paris, she trained as a dancer at the École de danse contemporaine de Montréal and later worked with choreographers such as George Stamos, Damien Jalet, and Benoît Lachambre. In 2017, she choreographed her first group work, Cosmic Love. She also gave 90 performances of her solo piece When Even The as part of a MAC Montréal exhibition honouring Leonard Cohen. In 2019, she created Rather a Ditch, a solo piece performed by Céline Bonnier. With Dog Rising (2021), Furey concluded her exploration of tension and immobility, freeing previously contained energies in a performance focusing on persistence, groove and pleasure. Her works toured in numerous festivals including the Venice Biennale, the Festival TransAmériques in Montreal, ImPulsTanz – Vienna International Dance Festival, Performance Mix in New York City, Fierce Festival in Birmingham, B-Motion in Bassano del Grappa, as well as in countries such as Lithuania, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Azerbaïdjan, and Bulgaria. Her newest piece UNARMOURED premiered in 2024 at Kunstenfestivaldesarts in Brussels.
