==Reena Almoneda-Chang== {{#widget:YouTube|id=4v9KkfMpQ0o}} Reena Almoneda-Chang is a Montreal-based dancer, choreographer, and movement educator of Chinese and Filipino descent from Vancouver, British Columbia. In 1989 she moved to Montreal to complete a B.A. in Political Science after which she went on to undertake studies in body-based psychotherapy, Chinese massage/bodywork, and dance. In dance and movement she focused primarily on African and afro-contemporary dance, flamenco, yoga, and tai chi. In 1996 she became a member of the Cie Danse Nyata Nyata which began a period of concentration on African dance. From 1997-1999 she traveled to Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire and Ghana to pursue further training in African dances after which she began to perform with various African music groups in Montreal, Quebec, and Rwanda. In 2004 she completed a Master’s in Dance at UQAM, and since then has focused on teaching and performing African dance, her own style of fusion-based afro-contemporary dance, and creative process. For over 10 years she has also been involved in the development and facilitation of community art projects centered on the body, movement, dance, and artistic process as a way of cultivating personal, social and political awareness and transformation. She has worked with immigrant women, marginalized women and youth, women in prison, and with families at-risk with young children. Currently, she is working on Sanctuary, an inter-disciplinary art project (dance, theatre, visual art, and video) in collaboration with the Native Women’s Shelter of Montreal, while completing training as a dance movement therapist with the National Centre for Dance Therapy at Les Grands Ballets Canadiens. Reena Almoneda Chang est danseuse, chorégraphe et éducatrice en mouvement d’origine sino-philippine basé à Montréal. Ex-membre de la Cie de Danse Nyata Nyata, elle a entreprit plusieurs voyages en Afrique (Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire et Ghana) pour approfondir sa connaissance des danses africaines. Ensuite, elle s’est produite en spectacle avec plusieurs groupes de musique africaine à Montréal, à Québec, en Ontario et au Rwanda, se présentant dans les festivals Vues d’Afrique, Nuits d’Afrique, Francofollies, les Maisons de la Culture et au Festival d’Été au Québec. Détenue d’une maîtrise en danse de l’Université du Québec à Montréal, elle a développé son propre style de fusion contemporaine basé sur le mélange de plusieurs formes de danse tels que la danse africaine, le flamenco, le tai chi et le capoeira. Dans ses créations elle s’intéresse aux thèmes de conflits interculturels et socio-politique, l’identité et la déconstruction des stéréotypes culturels. Depuis dix ans elle s’engage dans des projets d’art communautaire, travaillant avec des femmes immigrantes et en difficulté, des femmes incarcérées, des jeunes et des familles marginalisées avec des enfants 0-5 ans. Présentement, elle fait de la collaboration artistique dans le projet Sanctuaire, un projet de co-création interdisciplinaire (danse, art visuel, théâtre et vidéo) avec le Foyer pour femmes autochtones de Montréal, pendant qu’elle complète une formation en danse-thérapie avec le Centre de danse-thérapie aux Grands Ballets Canadiens. Sa vision artistique est également informée par des études en sciences politiques (BA de McGill), en psychothérapie corporelle et en massage chinois traditionnel.
