ABOUT

Allie Blumas

Allie is a dancer, musician and Death Doula currently living on the traditional land of the Erie, Neutral, Huron-Wendat, Mississaguas, and Haudenosaunne people. Colonial known as Hamilton, ON. Allie graduated from Concordia University in 2013 with a BFA in Contemporary Dance, as well as a Minor in Religious Studies. Their current artistic practice involves researching ways to embody the feelings and sensations of landscapes and how that can help to identify experiences of grief and death in day-to-day life. Their explorations in presences, and their work as a death doula, challenges the way dance is commonly expressed and experienced. Allie is a founding member of Tkaronto (Toronto) based dance collective Open Fortress who explore collaboration through the use of different types of technology, sound and movement to create non-traditional and subversive atmospheres.
