Erin Hill
Chorégraphe, Interprète
Erin Hill (she/they) is a dance artist, writer and birth worker, living in Tiohti:áke (Montreal). She approaches performance as a meeting place, the magical as a common and hosts experiences that aim to make palpable the spectrum and density of in-betweeness. Hill published the anthology Moving Parts: Articulated Bodies and Objects in Performance (Cafe Concret, 2020), contributed essays to Chairs (Triptyque, 2019) and Diffracting New Materialisms (Palgrave, 2023).
Hill works from durational practices; building relations with ecological research partners such as Sun and Cloud, allowing their timely constraints to guide her work. With Sunrise Commitment (2018), recipient of the OFFTA Audacity Award, Hill watched the sun rise every day for one year, the self-published artist book O accompanies this performance. Deep Gazing by collective Horizon Factory, works intimately with the sky to develop cloud divination beyond the craft of forecasting. Their performances and workshops have toured across Quebec, Toronto and France.
As a dramaturg and outside eye, Hill has worked with Sebastian Kann, Camille Lacelle-Wilsey, Hanako Hoshimi-Caines, Charlie Prince and others. Hill received a Masters from DAS Graduate School in 2018 (formerly DasArts, NL), and begins a PhD in Humanities at Concordia University in autumn 2024.
