Sonya Stefan's professional career in dance began in 1996, training and performing with the Toronto Dance Theatre. Since migrating to Montreal in 1999, she has taken the opportunity to work with several artists and companies including Cas Public, Fondation Jean Pierre Perreault, Montreal Danse, Les Carres des Lombes, and Dance Theatre David Earle. Sonya has developed her pedagogical and interpretive dance skills through rehearsal directing for Jean-Pierre Perreault's, JOE, choreographing for Repercussion Theatre's Shakespeare in the Parks and a decade of training dancers at Ballet Divertimento pre-professional training program. Her most recent endeavors include producing and performing a series of short duets with Yves St. Pierre, to be premiered at Tangente in December and directing her first film, Bianco Nero Grigio, most recently exhibited in the experimental section of the this year's Montreal World Film Festival.

Experimental Dance Film- Bianco Nero Grigio
This film follows two characters through dance. The characters explore four states: representation, conversation, chaos and memory; but one state is left behind.
