Robert Azevedo – Kittiwake RBC Emerging Choreographer in Residence
November 12, 2024 – Announcement
Building on the first three years of success with the RBC-Kittiwake emerging choreographer program, Kittiwake is delighted to continue this vital program and announce that Robert Azevedo is our newest emerging choreographer-in-residence. Robert, who currently resides in ktaqmkuk/Corner Brook, holds a BFA in Dance and English from Simon Fraser University. They have worked with a number of dance companies and choreographers across Canada, including performing in Kittiwake’s The Nutcracker in 2023. Over the next six months, Robert will engage in mentoring with Artistic Director, Yukichi Hattori, and other established choreographers. Over the same period, they will work in studio to create a new dance piece set on Kittiwake company dancers, which will premiere in spring 2025.
Kittiwake remains deeply grateful to the RBC Foundation whose Emerging Artists Project is a multi-year funding commitment dedicated to supporting the careers and development of emerging artists, across Canada through mentoring programs, education, and providing access and exposure to new audiences.
