Clara Furey is a choreographer and performer based in Tiohtià:ke/Montreal. Through her pieces, she explores the codes that travel in and across various art forms. She looks at encouraging an awakening of the sensorial perceptions of the audience and the performers, giving them emotive immediacy, direct access. 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. Her solo piece When Even The took part of Leonard Cohen: A Crack in Everything, an exhibition honouring the musician, presented at the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal. In 2019 she created Rather a Ditch, a solo piece performed by Céline Bonnier and, with Dog Rising in 2021, Furey concludes her exploration of tension and immobility, freeing previously contained energies in a performance focusing on persistence, groove and pleasure.
