Marcus Merasty

Marcus Merasty is a dance artist from Pelican Narrows, Saskatchewan and is of Cree descent. His interest in dance began with learning traditional Métis jigging in 2013. A year later, following the invitation to perform in work created by Edward Poitras and Robin Poitras, he began to pursue a career as a professional dance artist. This was also the beginning of an on-going mentorship under Robin and Edward. Marcus has also participated in the Indigenous Dance Residency(2016) and the Intercultural Indigenous Choreographers Creation Lab(2019) at The Banff Centre for the Arts.  Marcus is currently in the Professional Program at The School of Contemporary Dancers and is working toward getting his BA(hons) in contemporary dance from the University of Winnipeg.

Marcus' residency at New Dance Horizons is made possible with the generous support of SÂKÊWÊWAK.
