Simran Sachar is a Indo-Canadian dance artist, choreographer, teacher, writer, and actor originally from Calgary, Alberta, but currently dedicates time to their artistic practice in Vancouver, Canada on the unceded, ancestral territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations.

She is a captivating anomaly in this industry known for her work as a contemporary and street dance artist and choreographer. As a performer she’s contributed her skills in various film, television, theatre productions, and Canadian dance companies, as well as the street dance scene where she’s known for her exceptional abilities as a freestyle dancer, strong storytelling skills and fluid precision.

As a choreographer, Sachar’s work uncovers distorted memories and how they disfigure us, the duality of relief and grief, and all the baggage that eventually leads us to joy. Lately she is inspired by the bugs within XR technology. Instead of trying to improve the technology, perhaps we can apply its flaws and allow them to deepen the world building and choreography.

Sachar’s latest live work, ‘ACT TWENTY FIVE’ premiered in front of two sold out audiences in June 2024 at Vancouver’s Dancing On The Edge Festival and at Dance In Vancouver. Her latest XR film “The Edge of The Underworld,” premiered in September 2024. Her first XR film, BETA बेटा was presented at Luna Arts Festival 2021. In 2020, her first film ‘LUNACY’ was a part of National Arts Centre’s CAPSULE and premiered at F.O.R.M Film Festival and won the Official Selection of the Audience Choice Award. She made her debut in 2023 as the lead actor and assistant choreographer in Alberta Theatre Projects showing of Bombay Black as Apsara. Simran is the Winner of Release Yourself Whacking Battle in Montreal 2023.
