Marketing Manager

Claire Whitaker (she/her) is a Toronto-based freelance contemporary dance artist, marketing manager, and photographer who loves moving between creative worlds. She’s performed both her own solo work and pieces by Kylie Thompson, Colleen Snell, Compagnie de la Citadel, and, most recently, with Rock Bottom Movement in Sex Dalmatian’s Hot Holiday Spectacular. Touring with Compagnie de la Citadel has brought her to Kitchener and Montreal, with Regina and international stops in Bogotá and Medellín on the horizon.

In 2022, Claire co-created Mallo Nights – An Evening of Poetry and Dance with wind in the leaves collective artistic director charles c. smith and collaborator Ana Groppler. A cozy, collaborative series that connects poets and dancers through improvisation and shared performance.

Claire is thrilled to be on the SummerWorks team again this year!
