Spirit Synott

Dancer and “roll” model Spirit Synott has been performing across Canada since 1999 on two wheels. Although she has been a guest performer with acclaimed Toronto-based companies Canboulay Dance Theatre and OMO Dance Company, Spirit is in high demand as an independent dancer at disability arts festivals. Spirit has a growing repertoire of solo and duet works, all set to music from Lilia’s Radio Friendly pop recordings. Spirit’s eclectic and extensive arts-training includes a diploma (with honours) from the Ontario College of Arts, and acting training with Richard McKenna, Actors Equity Showcase, Toronto Theatre Alliance, Actors’ Co-op, Cayle Film, and Grass is Greener Productions. She has studied dance with Debbie Wilson (modern and ballet); Rachel Gorman (repertoire and modern); Ronald Taylor and Anthony Guerra (African/Caribbean folk); and Almond Small (modern). Spirit has been a member of The Northern Lights Dance Theatre Foundation Board of Directors for three years.

Dance Workshop

Spirit Synott will present a dance workshop that will begin with warmup exercises and feature an introduction to a variety of dance vocabularies including ballet/modern, contact improv/african and caribbean/folk dance forms. The introduction will be followed by a composition session which will allow participants to explore their own creative movement paths.

Spirit Synott has taught in Winnipeg, Ottowa, Niagara region and Toronto in a variety of settings. Adults and children of varying abilities are welcome.
