Welcome Shanique! 💙
We are excited to introduce Shanique Peart as our Communications Specialist for the summer!
Shanique Peart is a first-generation, Afro-Canadian, multidisciplinary artist, educator, and arts administrator based in Kingston, Ontario. With a background in dance, photography, performance, and storytelling, her work explores the intersections of movement, identity, and environment.
Shanique’s exploratory essence led her to become a self-taught dancer. Since then, she has explored and become versed in Hip-Hop, Freestyle, Dancehall, Afro Fusion, Modern, and Urban Contemporary styles. Rooted in collaboration and inspired by community, Shanique blends artistic disciplines to craft stories that reflect shared experiences and collective memory. Through vibrant compositions, she seeks to foster connection and evoke emotion. Beyond performance, she is actively involved in creative projects across theatre, education, film and arts administration, continuing to build spaces where art, culture, and community meet.
We're thrilled to have Shanique joining our team to help support our marketing and communications for the next nine weeks. Be sure to say hi if you spot her in the building! ✨
This position was made possible by funding from the Government of Canada through the Canada Summer Jobs Program.
