Emily Solstice Tait

Biography

Emily Solstice Tait’s practice is rooted in contemporary dance and her work crosses into
theatre, choreography, and stage management. She was raised in Winnipeg and is of mixed
settler and Ojibway ancestry (Berens River First Nation). Her choreographic work has
enlivened spaces like The Manitoba Museum, The Forks National Historic Site, and found its
way into film and theatre projects along the water and lands around Winnipeg.
As an interdisciplinary artist, Emily is excited about making connections. Connections
between art forms, collaborations with other artists, and connecting to audiences through
explorations of ideas. She desires to create work that slips between fantasy and advocacy,
creating space for growth. To create change either as an internal experience or one which
we share through opening space for new conversations to take place.
