Amy Hull
Research Associate
Amy Hull is a graduate of the BFA Hons. Dance program, Performance and Choreography stream, and current MA Candidate in Dance at York University. Her research interests include Indigenous representation in theatrical dance, Death and Dying Studies, and Critical Race Studies. Amy’s MA research focuses on and analyzes the Canadian legacy of ballets that feature an Indigenous death as a main plot point from a critical race lens. Her work problematizes the ventriloquism of Indigenous peoples and the exclusions made of Indigenous ballet dancers when telling these Indigenous stories.
Amy has worked internationally with AVA Dance Company on the production No Woman’s Land (formerly UKI survivor) and locally in Toronto with Balancing on the Edge new circus and new music collective. Most recently, she has contributed to the Virtual Creative Native project in the creation of a music video for Buffy Sainte-Marie. She is also a contributor to The Dance Current.
