Meet the Dancers

Louanna Martin
Meet Ansu Alex, an innovative choreographer, and founder of dance & movement school, Nrtya Creations, based in Vancouver. From a young age, Ansu Alex has been deeply passionate about dance, and her journey began as a self-taught dancer, exploring and experimenting with various styles and techniques. She started creating her own dance pieces at a young age, using dance as a means of storytelling and self-expression. Her unique style and approach caught the attention of others, and at the age of 13 she began choreographing dance pieces for competitive senior school teams, and by the age of 17 she was directing plays for community level events.
Driven by passion and desire to share her love of dance and story-telling, Ansu Alex founded her own dance school, Nrtya Creations teaching and collaborating with local schools and theatre groups, working on school musicals, fundraising events, educational programs, and plays. Her school’s approach is heartfelt, constantly transforming to be innovative and holistic with a deep commitment of cultivating creativity, self-expression, and a deep understanding of the art form. Although she is an engineer by the day, at other times you can see her burning to constantly create new works of art, teaching aspiring dancers, or collaborating with others to bring artistic visions to life with a deep sense of joy and enthusiasm.

My name is Omrah Faqiryar. I am a fourth-year Sociology student with a Criminology and Business Law minor at Toronto Metropolitan University. I have done work with legislators at the Senate House. My purpose in life is to change the way that underprivileged people are represented in this world. On a lighter note, I was co-cheer captain in high school and have loved music and dancing my entire life. Being a part of Sista’s Calling is a way to combine my love for the arts with my purpose in life. This production is truly groundbreaking as it allows such a serious topic and story to be spread to the masses and allows all individuals to interpret it in a way that is impactful to themselves. Joining the Sista’s Calling production at age 21 has allowed me to broaden my knowledge about women’s struggles that aren’t always public.
