ABOUT SHANIQUE

Shanique Peart is a Kingston based multi-disciplinary artist with a passion for creation, dance and photography. Shanique began her dance journey as a self-trained dancer exploring movement through Hip-hop and freestyle dance. Over the years she has had the opportunity to train in a variety of settings that has allowed her to develop her skills in multiple dance styles. Including Hip-Hop, Dancehall, Afro fusion, Modern and Urban Contemporary.

This diverse background has influenced her journey as a multi-disciplinary artist. Not only exploring and creating through movement but intertwining dance and performance through film and photography.

Outside of dance and photography, Shanique is moving into more creation-based and collaboration projects. Both in and outside of Kingston, ON. As well as the theatre, education and administrative space within the dance and arts community.

What is the candid creative co?

The Candid Creative Co is a platform and business with the goal of highlighting all of my artistic mediums and give them a home. I wear many different hats within the thriving arts scene here in Kingston, ON. So, I thought it was time I became more Candid about my work, and my overall artistic journey. I hope to share more about my practice through my gallery, upcoming events and my social media.

Over the next couple of years, I hope to transform this platform into a production company. A place to create new works - not only for myself - but for other artists who may not have many resources, physical space, or training opportunities; similar to the beginning of my artistic journey.

I look forward to collaborating and meeting you all!

Candidly,

The Candid Creative
