Founded in 1999 by award-winning choreographer Malgorzata Nowacka, The Chimera Project confronts the audience with high-octane physicality, ferocious technique and fearlessly gritty themes.

"I have been dancing since I was 3 years old. I started mostly with Highland and then when I was 11 began doing jazz and ballet and later modern. I have been in numerous production with a local theatre group in Prince George BC (where I have had most of my dance and theatre training) and have performed roles such as Maggie Anderson; in Brigadoon, and Vitoria "the White Cat"; in Cats, as well as numerous chorus and dance roles. I am an Associates BATD Member and have won many awards and scholarships for my dancing. I am presently beginning my second year at York Unviserty as a Fine Arts Dance Major.""My contact is akeery@yorku.ca."
