Claudia Moore Biography

Claudia Moore (born April 14, 1953 in Buffalo, New York) is a dancer and choreographer who resides in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. She is the artistic director of MOonhORsE dance theatre. Claudia Moore has been creating and performing movement for theatre, film, multi-disciplinary collaboration and her own dance theatre productions since the late 1970s. Recent works include “Ever thus” (2006), “By night” (2004), “Casa” (2003), “On earth” (2002) and “Small midnight” (2001), co-choreographed by Moore and Tedd Robinson. “Box pieces”, her first dance film, was commissioned by director Paul Carrière from Canada’s Bravo! art channel. Claudia’s work has been presented in Montreal, Vancouver, Halifax, Peterborough, Buffalo and New York City. Claudia also choreographed the film Exotica by Atom Egoyan.

Moore began ballet class with Stella Appelbaum at the Dance Arts Studio in Buffalo and fell in love with dancing. At age twelve, she became a student at the National Ballet School in Toronto. She began performing with the National Ballet of Canada at sixteen years old, touring Europe and the United States from 1971 to 1973. Her curiosity led her beyond classical ballet. She joined the Felix Blaska Company in France in 1973 and studied physical theatre with Lindsay Kemp in London. Returning to Canada, Claudia danced with the Contemporary Dance Theatre of Montreal. In 1976 she joined the Toronto Dance Theatre and in 1980, became a founding member of Desrosiers Dance Theatre, performing major roles with those companies until 1987. She performed on video and on film, including “L’Oiseau de Feu” for CBC Montreal and Leonard Cohen’s “I am a Hotel”. She also performed original works by Canadian choreographers including Serge Bennathan, Peter Chin, Ginette Laurin, James Kudelka, Lola MacLaughlin and Tedd Robinson.

She choreographed her first work, “Chrysalis”, in 1977 in a workshop at Toronto Dance Theatre. Since that time, she has created more than forty works, which have been performed in Paris, Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver.
