Daisy Thompson is an English settler now living in Vancouver on the unceded territories of the Skwxwú7mesh, Səl̓ílwətaɬ and xʷməθkwəy̓əm Nations.
As a dance artist and writer, she seeks to extend ideas of the dancing body as a key site for the questioning of embodied power relations, and considers how the dancing body interrupts cycles of contemporary logics of control in relation to culture and identity.
Daisy completed her training at the Laban Dance Centre (UK), and has had the fortune to work with Trisha Brown Dance Company (USA), Eva Karczag (Amsterdam), Emmalena Fredriksson (Sweden/Vancouver), Ugo Dehaes (Belgium), Lee, Su-Feh (Vancouver), Mascall Dance (Vancouver), O’dela Arts (Vancouver), The Frank Theatre Company, Ruby Slippers Theatre, amongst others.
She has presented her own choreographic works internationally and locally, published several articles, and regularly teaches in a variety of spaces in Vancouver, including Simon Fraser University, Training Society of Vancouver, WeDance and Polymer Dance.
She is a PhD student at Simon Fraser University, and a proud mother of 2 small children.
