(she/her)

Carleen Zouboules is an accomplished artist and performer who earned her BFA from Toronto Metropolitan University in 2020. She has established herself as a dynamic and versatile presence in the Toronto dance scene, dancing for companies including Côté Dansé, ProArteDanza, Red Sky Performance, and Zata Omm Productions. 

One of her recent standout roles was as Ophelia in the innovative collaboration of "Hamlet," directed by Guillaume Côté and Robert Lepage. The company performed a “first draft” of the work in Saint Sauveur this summer and the show is set to premiere in Toronto this spring. Carleen has performed at Fall For Dance North on two separate occasions, where she performed choreographed works by renowned artists such as Jera Wolfe and Anne Plamondon. Her performance repertoire also includes dancing in notable works such as "Fearful Symmetries" by Roberto Campanella, "Only Who's Left" by Lesley Telford, "Tethered to Your Palms" by Chantelle Good, and the immersive contemporary duet "Touch" by Guillaume Côté, among others. 

Beyond the stage, Carleen has made her mark on-screen with appearances at the VMA's during Tate McRae's "You Broke Me First" and in feature films like "Sweat" by Jennifer Nichols, "Eden Planted" by William Yong, and "The 9th" by Robert Glumbek & Roberto Campanella. Carleen has choreographed for "Night Shift," presented by Citadel + Compagnie in collaboration with Fall For Dance North in 2022. She is currently working on a piece for the students at Toronto Metropolitan University, alongside her choreographic partner, Vania Dodoo Beals. In all her endeavors, Carleen is an artist driven by the magic of emotion and movement.  From being an interpreter to an emerging choreographer, she leans into the depth of movement and where it truly comes from.
