Eilish 미정 Shin-Culhane
Assistant Choreographic Director

Eilish 미정 Shin-Culhane is a Tkaronto-based queer half-Korean movement artist. Holding a BFA from Marymount Manhattan College in New York, Eilish feels equal parts mover and maker. Since returning home to Toronto in 2020, Eilish has furthered their artistic curiosities through various commissions, residencies, and performances. 

As a performer, Eilish has had the privilege to dance in works by Peter Chu, Bill T. Jones, Nicole von Arx, Esie Mensah, Nova Bhattacharya, Frog in Hand, Angela Blumberg, Adam Barruch, and Vim Vigor. Eilish has toured with Nova Dance and is a company dancer for Esie Mensah’s Afrofusion company, Esie Mensah Creations.

As a choreographer they have been commissioned and presented work through Peggy Baker Dance Projects, George Brown, TO Live’s Discover Dance, TDT’s Pilot Episodes Program, the COC’s Expanding the Canvas Program, and the Citadel + Compagnie’s Night Shift Festival. They center joy, discussion and release through their collaborative process, prioritizing personal connections and individual growth. Eilish continues to be inquisitive in both her mover and maker selves - valuing community, play, and curiosity.
