Prolific dance artist George Stamos is known for his poetic, transdisciplinary creations. Thus far in 2025, George has received audience and critical acclaim for his solo show Sister Nightlight, which premiered at The Citadel: Ross Centre for Dance in Toronto, March 6-8, 2025. Driven by a fascination with bringing the subconscious into view, George forges pathways across disciplines with mesmerizing hybrid pieces that captivate audiences.

 

He has held residencies at the Baryshnikov Arts Center (NYC, 2009, 2010 & 2017) and Agora de la Danse (Montréal, 2012–2015). In 2014, George received the Northrop McKnight Fellowship for International Choreographers Award. From 2022 to 2024, he was the Artistic and Pedagogical Associate at the Dance Arts Institute in Toronto. Originally from Nova Scotia, he received a BA in Art - Choreography at  Amsterdam University of the Arts and a Graduate Diploma in Communication Studies from Concordia University in Montréal.

 

His career began as a solo artist and go-go dancer in New York City (1993–1999) before establishing himself in Montréal, where, as a sought-after dancer, he has worked with prominent companies. Throughout his career, George has toured his transdisciplinary projects internationally and danced in seminal works by pioneering artists Zab Maboungou, Sara Shelton Mann and Benoit Lachambre. In 2022, his short film SNAP, Archie's Story, won The Overcome Film Festival's Best International Documentary Film Award, and he has achieved recognition as a talented filmmaker in recent years. This season, the premieres of his films Syzygy, One Kind Favor, and Potrero Hill delighted audiences and he will unveil his film SNAP, Zab's Story, later this year.
