Myriad Dance Projects was first founded in 2008 by Miriam Colvin. Miriam Colvin is an independent dance artist based out of Smithers, a small northern town in British Columbia. She has a BA from Wesleyan University in dance and psychology. She spent six years performing, teaching and creating dances in Minneapolis, MN before moving to Canada in 2004. Miriam established Myriad Dance Projects with the intention of creating a platform for launching performances, initiating residencies and inviting her local community into engagement with movement. She works to integrate dance in its many forms into community; collaborating to make meaningful art with dancers, visual artists, musicians and people who just love to move. She has a passion for all avenues of improvisation and collective creation. Her dances has been presented in Washington, DC, Boston, MA, Minneapolis, MN, Ottawa, ON, Vancouver, BC and Smithers, BC. Her most recent projects include: expanding circles, an Arts Based Community Development Project. She is also exploring the idea of Dance Demo Camps, with Vancouver artist Julie Lebel. While much of her dancing in Smithers is a solo practice, she loves to travel and work with peers whenever possible.
