Heather Laura Gray is a Vancouver-based choreographer with a background in theatre and film. Her work combines raw physicality embedded in introspective concepts. The Tunnel explores the mysterious world of the mind and the damaging effects of the ego. Theatrically ominous and haunting, the piece leads audiences deep into the corners of a mind trap.

Heather Laura Gray began her training at L’Ecole Superieur de Dance du Quebec, The Goh Ballet and trained independently in voice, acting and many other dance disciplines. She has performed on stage and screen as an actor, dancer and singer. Her journey has led her to produce, direct and choreograph stage shows as well as dance full length contemporary pieces for the response. Dance Company/Amber Funk Barton, Restless Productions/Claire French, Marta Marta Productions/Martha Carter & Dancers Dancing/Judith Garay.
