PAM TZENG

Pam Tzeng 曾小桐 (she/her) is a second-generation Taiwanese-Canadian choreographer, interdisciplinary performance maker, movement educator and arts worker based in Mohkínstsis Treaty 7 Territory.

Led by her embodied curiosities, she graciously traverses charged thematic territories to reveal and empower unseen truths.

As 2022-23 Artist in Residence with Dancemakers (Toronto), she is focused on researching conflict transformation from an artistic and embodied lens. Currently, Pam is also an advisor with the Canadian Dance Assembly, faculty and practices of care weaver for the Rozsa Foundations REAL Executive Leadership Program, a member of the Cultural Instigators – a collective of artist activists visioning an anti-racist future for Calgary and part of Calgary Arts Development’s EDIA working group.  Photo by Mike Tan.
