Martin Austin

Hello, I'm Martin, and I'm a dance academic, writer, and critic based in Toronto, ON! As a PhD Candidate at University of Toronto's Centre for Drama, Theatre & Performance Studies, I explore dance as an entrypoint into conversations for new, ethical ways of being in the world with each other.

I'm a frequent reviews and features contributor for CBC Arts and Intermission Magazine, with additional publications in The Dance Current and smART Magazine. Across my time as a freelance writer, I've written on major choreographers including Akram Khan and Ohad Naharin, and covered shows put on by the National Ballet of Canada, Toronto Dance Theatre, Stratford Festival, Canadian Stage, Theatre Passe Muraille, and more. My contacts are below if you have any interest in working together!
