harveen kaur gill
Harveen Gill (she/her) is a Punjabi-American, first generation, multidisciplinary dance artist, educator and storyteller using film, movement, installation, visual art, spoken word and sound as an expression of exploring memory in the body, identity, grief, South Asian matrilineage and connection to land and south asian ancestry.
Harveen holds a B.A. in Dance from San Jose State University, California with a distinction in choreography and performance. She is motivated by amplifying marginalized voices, creating accessible spaces for all movers, and building connections through vulnerability. She is currently a third year MFA student in Dance at the University of Colorado, Boulder with a second emphasis in Emergent Technologies and Media Arts Practices.
With communal care and liberation at the forefront, her work practices touch, transformation, storytelling, and ancestral activations and archivals. While integrating holistic practices that encourage slowing down and healing our nervous system, her mission is to create spaces that hold nourishment, vitality, balance, and community. As a daughter of Punjabi ancestors, her mixed eastern-western heritage is a guiding compass to creating works that tell shared stories of people experiencing an amalgamation of identity and lived experiences.
