Britt Angus is a choreographer, dancer, visual artist, filmmaker and producer of interdisciplinary events in Berlin, and her home Vancouver, Canada (stolen Coast Salish territory). Her work draws upon the complexities and rhythms of the natural world, in conjunction with the imagination’s fluctuating states of sensationality and being. As a choreographer she explores subconscious character, playing with particular subtleties and layers of mind and body.
Britt’s work is focused on the physical, dynamic and rapidly evolving attributes of human nature. Multilinguality and extensive travel have afforded her work with an organic and sensitive synthesis of culture, language, dance and community. Britt is co-founder and artistic director of Berlin based art collective, Chaos Emblematic artists and disciplines, creating work which reflects and illustrates elements of the human experience from a unique yet collective perspective.
Britt holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree with SFU School for the Contemporary Arts. In 2022 Britt performed in ‘City Horses’ by Byström Källblad for Big Pulse Dance, Tanz Im August and Kultur-Sommer Festival. In Berlin, she has interpreted choreography by Blenard Azizaj, Satoshi Kudo, Sita Ostheimer, Helder Seabra and Johannes Wieland. She has also worked intensively with Tanz Company Gervasi in Vienna and Barbarano Romano in Italy.
Her film work has been screened at Berlin Art Week, Mobile Kino and GRRL Haus Cinema, as well as being selected at a number of festivals including Dance: Made in Canada/Fait au Canada Festival, International Screendance Festival Freiburg and Cyprus International Film Festival.
As Artistic Director of Chaos Emblematic, she has curated and produced multidisciplinary events for Bande á Part Berlin, Drink & Draw Berlin, Hošek Contemporary, Lobe Studio (Canada), Marbella Studio, SMAC Galerie, UNIT/PITT Society for Art & Critical Awareness (Canada), Untergeschoss der Pandora Art Gallery and Urban Spree.
