Sara Porter, EEAP Artist

Sara Porter is a multidisciplinary performer, choreographer, vocalist, writer and educator with a distinctive voice and a broad palette. Celebrated for her wit and absurdity, Sara’s performances propose the queer and disabled body as a site for personal reflection and play. Over a 30-year career, Sara has created over 25 works and performed across Canada, the US, and Europe. Her signature one-woman show, Sara does a Solo, toured Canada and the US for three years. In 2019, she received a Chalmers Fellowship to research performance at the intersection of memoir and movement and subsequent works – Getting to Know Your Fruit, L-E-A-K, and Bad Poetry: Live in [your town]! – emerged as poetic and documentary storytelling mixed with clown and science. Sara was in residency in Northern Norway to develop Hello Sunshine!, a solo about living with PMLE (acute sun allergy). Sara is also an author, dance writer, curriculum developer, and member of Toronto’s Intergalactic Arts Collective Studio.
