Excited to introduce lead ‘Dance in a Day’ choreographers, María Riaño and Sofía Ontiveros.
Together they will lead us through their process; exploring partner work in the world of release, restriction in high energy and full embodied movement. Seeking to discover the parallels and intersections of contemporary dance with the cultural influences that have shaped and surrounded them.
MARIA RIANO continues her career as a professional dancer and instructor in parallel to her experience in marketing. She is an emerging dancer, choreographer and instructor in Toronto. She began her training in Bogota, Colombia where she was born. Maria has had the chance to work in projects/ companies such as Citadel + Compagnie’s Citadel Dance Mix 2023 and Night Shift 2022 co-produced with Fall for Dance North, CAMINOS 2023 Festival by Aluna Theatre, Nostos Collective, Foolish Operations, The Bentway, Frog in Hand and Angela Blumberg. María draws inspiration in her art from constant investigation, the eagerness of life and human connection. This, as a result, is where Maria’s movement derives from, a place that is open-minded and curious.
SOFIA ONTIVEROS is a queer, genderfluid, Mexican dance artist and choreographer based in Tkaronto, Ontario. They trained in Mexico for 10 years in various dance styles including ballet, jazz, jazz funk, tap, contemporary, lyrical, hip hop, breakdance, locking, popping, and whacking. Sofía is a 2021 graduate from Toronto Metropolitan University ‘s The Creative School BFA Dance Program, where they trained in ballet, jazz, modern, improvisation, and contemporary techniques. The TMU faculty chose them for the Lipson Family Endowment Award for an Emerging Choreographer. Their most recent work Ojalá…, was showcased as a work in progress at CAMINOS 2023 by Aluna Theatre, and as a finished work at The Citadel Dance Mix 2023 by The Citadel + Compagnie.
