Geoff McMurchy
(Canada)
Geoff McMurchy is a dancer, choreographer, and sculptor. He is also the Artistic Director for the Society
of Disability Arts and Culture in British Columbia and one of the five artists featured in the Bonnie
Sherr Klein film “Shameless: The Art of Disability”.
In early 2000, building upon his innate and deep love of art, his earlier dance experience with groups
such as the Alberta Contemporary Dance Theatre and inspired by the British integrated dance company,
CandoCo following their 1999 performance in Vancouver, Geoff returned to the dance floor performing both
within Canada and internationally including at the High Beam Festival in Adelaide, Australia.
Geoff McMurchy and dance partner Lori Hamar, will grace the stages of the Glenn Gould Studio presenting
the integrated dance performance “WINGSPAN THREE” an exciting series of short dance vignettes that boldly,
powerfully and passionately deal with the complexities of the human condition: yearning, companionship and
transcendence.
