Tracey Norman is a driving force in her community, spending her time as a choreographer, educator, performer, outside eye, researcher, writer and mother of two young children. Based in Toronto, Canada, her love of movement developed in childhood while running through corn fields and jumping from haylofts on her family’s farm. Tracey’s choreography has been commissioned by numerous organizations including, DanceWorks Mainstage, Dance Ontario’s Creative Partnership Program, Dance Matters, Guelph Dance, Kinetic Studio, and Hart House, performed in numerous festivals including, Nuit Blanche, Montreal Fringe, Toronto Fringe, fFIDA, and Festival de Dance en l’Atlantique, as well as self and co-produced on stages across North America. Her work has been described as “refreshing and original” (The Globe and Mail) and nominated for a Frankie Award for Most Outstanding Choreography (Montreal, 2018). Tracey is a resident artist of the Intergalactic Arts Collective (IGAC), housed at Artscape Youngplace. She has recently written articles for publications including The Dance Current and Journal of the Motherhood Initiative.
