About the Artists:
MISHA “MEEK” BAUER (He/It/She) – DIRECTOR & PRODUCER
As a contemporary and abstract dance and movement artist who inhabits a fat body, Meek approaches dance from both an embodied position and a curious position asking what CAN he do instead of dwelling on what they cannot currently do. This method of dance and movement art allows her to connect with it’s body holistically and nonjudgmentally and makes dance more than an expression and artform but a tool of healing and teaching.
From years three to eight, Meek was enrolled in Jazz, Tap, and Ballet at Dimensions in Dance (Kitchener, ON). He went to an arts-focused high-school (Eastwood Collegiate) where she took the Dance program and has since focused on growing through various peer mentorships. Meek prides itself on being mostly self and peer taught having consciously and purposefully departed from what can often be harmful institutional methods of learning.
NICOLE DECSEY (She/Her) – CHOREOGRAPHER & CO-PRODUCER
Nicole Decsey is a performer, choreographer, artistic director, arts critic, and dance instructor based in Mississauga and Toronto with a BFA in performance dance from Toronto Metropolitan University. After receiving her BFA and participating in many dance intensives across the country Nicole developed her own grassroots dance company: Nicole Decsey Dance Projects (NDDP), through which her latest work We Lost You A Long Time Ago premiered on February 25th, 2023 to a sold out audience.
Nicole has performed in multiple events and venues including corporate events, the Toronto Fringe Festival, Nuit Blanche Festival, and the iconic Dancemakers space in the Distillery District. Aside from her work as a performer and artistic director for NDDP Nicole has worked as a crew member in lighting, costuming, and administrative positions. She is also a rehearsal director for Human Body Expression, a contributor to the The Dance Current, and a choreographer and collaborator for Create Dangerously Collective.
