FÁBIO SENA

A Brazilian-born dancer and choreographer, Fábio Sanfer's career spans both contemporary and classical dance. After years of performing and directing in Brazil, he sought refuge in Canada, where he continues to reshape his artistic practice. With a strong background in dance pedagogy, Fábio has taught across various institutions in Brazil, focusing on Queer and LGBTQIA+ narratives. His work intersects dance with themes of identity, migration, and community, having received attention through collaborations and film projects. He now resides in Toronto, exploring new avenues for performance and education.
