Clara Furey is a choreographer and performer based in Tiohtià:ke/Montreal. She explores the codes that travel in and across various art forms. She looks at encouraging an awakening of the sensorial perceptions of the audience and the performers, giving them emotive immediacy, direct access.

After completing musical training at the Conservatoire de Paris, she trained as a dancer at the École de danse contemporaine de Montréal and later worked with choreographers such as George Stamos, Damien Jalet, and Benoît Lachambre.

In 2017, she choreographed her first group work, Cosmic Love. She also gave 90 performances of her solo piece When Even The as part of the MAC exhibition honouring Leonard Cohen. In 2019 she created Rather a Ditch, a solo piece performed by Céline Bonnier.

With Dog Rising (2021), Furey concludes her exploration of tension and immobility, freeing previously contained energies in a performance focusing on persistence, groove and pleasure.

With her latest creation, UNARMOURED (2024), she calls for an erotism on her terms. A polyphonic architecture of pleasure.

Her works toured in numerous festivals including the Biennale of Venice, the Festival TransAmériques in Montreal, ImPulsTanz in Vienna, Performance Mix in New-York City, Fierce Festival in Birmingham, B-Motion in Bassano del Grappa, and in different countries such as Lithuania, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Spain, The Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Azerbaïdjan, and Bulgaria.

Continuing international tours, she also regularly teaches workshops.
