Julia Harvie is an award winning New Zealand dance artist. She graduated from UNITEC in 2003 with a Bachelor of Performing and Screen Arts in Contemporary Dance. Julia’s practice involves multidisciplinary collaborations, civic engagement, architecture and improvisation. She tends towards challenging dominant power structures through non-theatrical settings which lead to richer consideration of audience perspective and the female body as a powerful political site. She has worked for a wide range of Aotearoa's foremost choreographers. Her work has toured throughout New Zealand and has been presented in Taiwan and Australia. She has eighteen years of experience producing her own works and since 2013 has been the Artistic Director of Movement Art Practice (MAP). She is dedicated to the growth and development her fellow dance, theatre and visual arts practitioners in building communities around their work here in Ōtautahi Christchurch through her work at MAP and Ōtautahi Tiny Performance Festival.
