About The Chimera Project Dance Theatre

Under the artistic direction of choreographer/dancer Malgorzata Nowacka, The Chimera Project is a renowned contemporary dance company that is committed to building new audiences for contemporary dance by creating works that resonate with audiences through compelling themes and intense raw physicality.

In creating work that explodes with high-octane physicality, ferocious technique and dark gritty themes, Nowacka's choreographic works are immersive and exciting journeys that assault the senses; they have repeatedly garnered her accolades, including one of the Top Ten Performances of the Year by Canada's The Globe and Mail and in Toronto's NOW Magazine.

The Chimera Project presents an annual season in its home community of Toronto, and tours throughout Ontario and afield to BC and into the US, giving workshops and creation residencies. The company works with a core group of seven dancers and has a touring repertoire of 3 full length works, choreographed by Malgorzata Nowacka.
