Liliona Quarmyne has an eclectic background and a diverse set of trainings and experiences! As a result, she wears many hats including choreographer, dancer, actor, singer, community organizer, and facilitator.

Liliona’s work stems from the idea of the body as story – an ever-shifting, layered meeting place of moments and memory that is in constant conversation with time, space, land, and other bodies. Liliona sees her body as a link to past and to future generations.

She choreographs and dances across Canada and internationally, creates and performs original works asan independent artist, facilitates community programming, and is the Artistic Director of Kinetic Studio. Her scope of work is broad but is particularly focused on the relationship between art and social justice, on the body’s ability to carry ancestral memory, and on the role the performing arts can play in creating change.
