harveen kaur gill

Harveen Gill (she/her) is a Punjabi-American, multidisciplinary dance artist, educator, arts manager, producer, and storyteller using film, movement, installation, visual art, spoken word and sound as an expression of exploring ancestral memory in the body, identity, and connection to land and south asian ancestry. Originally from northern California, she is now based out of Boulder, Colorado and the Ute, Cheyanne, and Arapahoe territories. 

Harveen holds a B.A. in Dance from San Jose State University, California with a distinction in choreography and performance and an MFA in Dance with a second emphasis in Emergent Technologies and Media Arts Practices from the University of Colorado, Boulder. She is motivated by amplifying marginalized voices, creating accessible spaces for all movers, and building connections through vulnerability. She is an advocate for bold stories, courageous perspectives, and liminal identities/spaces.

With communal care and liberation at the forefront, her work practices touch, transformation, and storytelling. Through memory, migration, and metamorphosis she investigates ancestral activations and archivals. As a daughter of Punjabi ancestors, her mixed eastern-western heritage is a guiding compass to creating works and third spaces that tell shared stories of people experiencing an amalgamation of identity and lived experiences.
