Kéïta Fournier-Pelletier is a queer, Métis, Franco-Manitoban artist from Treaty 1 Territory, currently based in Tkaronto (Treaty 13). They are continuously discovering what these intersecting identities mean to them, and the role they play in their art as a dancer, choreographer and educator. Her work has been presented at the Citadel Dance Mix, Allies and Friends, and at Aeris Körper’s festival “Here&Now”. They have had the pleasure to work with national and international choreographers over their career such as Aria Evans, Marjolein Vogels, Ingri Midgard Fiksdal among others. She has also collaborated with Theatre Passe Muraille, and lemonTree creations. Kéïta is interested in collaborating on works that question power, heteronormativity, and other societal norms that reject her identity.
Kéïta has a deep desire for learning and recently attended a 5-week Flying Low & Passing Through intensive with David Zambrano, in Brussels, Belgium. She hopes to continue to develop these techniques and bring them into her teaching practice.
