Mathi LP is a live arts artist based in Tiohtià:ke, Mooniyang, Montreal. A graduate of the Contemporary Dance Creation program at Concordia University in 2016 and the Master’s program in Dance at UQAM in 2025, Mathi LP now navigates between contemporary dance, somatic practices, performance, writing, facilitation, and teaching.
Through their professional experiences, they have developed an interest in working with bodily states as a driver for social transformation, in cultivating sensory awareness as a tool for activism, and in somatic experience as a (re)source for creation. They view teaching as both an artistic and political practice that carries discourses about bodies. Mathi LP is currently undergoing mentorship in the Continuum practice with Linda Rabin and deepens their relationship with the living through a long-standing artistic connection to the element of water.
Although their work takes on various forms to better serve the evolution of their research, Mathi LP enjoys working with fluid bodies by allowing their material, experiential, conceptual, identity-related and political dimensions to interact. In collaboration with the organization RURART in the Eastern Townships, they created Espaces Aperçus (2022), a research space built around the sharing of movement practices and questions about the role of these practices in our daily lives. This project is woven by and for practitioners who come both to learn and to nurture the relationships that build and sustain their practices.
Mathi LP also collaborates on the Montreal arts scene with artists such as Hanna Sybille Müller, Kerwin Barrington, Kelly Keenan, Corinne Skaff, Andrew Turner, Rafa Tremblay-Van zuiden, Steve Day, Camille Renarhd, and Soledad Coyoli.
For them, dance is a space of lived reflections and embodied knowledge in dialogue with the environment and its inhabitants. Throughout their artistic journey, they seek to situate themselves—and dance—within a more-than-human world, inviting the body to be moved in new ways: to move in order to think a world in motion. Through the experience of the living body and by bringing diverse practices into dialogue, Mathi LP seeks a deep engagement with the world around them.
