Artist Profiles

Since February 2021, Jillian Greyson has been profiling artists from, or who contribute meaningfully to, African Diasporic cultures in Canada and abroad each month in the dance Immersion Newsletter. Click the names below to access the artist profiles. Each newsletter also gives an overview of the public events dance Immersion produced and presented during that time period. 

Revisit this page each month to gain new insights into some of our amazing artists, and join our newsletter on the Contact page to have them sent directly to your inbox!

In addition to the written artist profiles, filmmaker Christian Boakye-Agyeman created two documentaries for us in January 2023, sponsored by Canada’s National Ballet School. His interview recordings document Zab Maboungou and John Alleyne, who delivered keynote addresses for Connectively Moving Our Dance 2023. Enjoy the videos below.
