Brenna Metzmeier, is a 27 year old, multidisciplinary artist living in Vancouver BC. She is

the dance company CAMP. In CAMP she has co-created and produced several full length dance
shows and been selected for multiple choreographic commissions. She also creates her own
solo work and has performed it in Vancouver, BC and Limerick, Ireland.
Brenna brings a diverse skill set, honed over years of dedicated training and professional
experience. With a background in ballet, floorwork, acro-flow, aerial, improvisation, partnering,
theatre, choreography, performance, and film, she leverages her unique history and perspective
to inspire her teaching and choreography. Brenna will teach contemporary floorwork and
acrobatic flow. She focuses on how to move softly and seamlessly across the floor, using it as
your dance partner, transitions in and out of the floor, interacting with the horizontal space and
body, spinal sequencing and floor based acrobatics, along with improvisation, creation, and
partnering.
