Bio

Sound Artist, Nancy Tam (譚亦斯), works and lives on the unceded territories of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh, Musqueam and Tsleil- Waututh Nations. She works across disciplinary bounds with sound and performance as her primary media. Using multi-channel audio, and musical composition her current research triangulates between sound, space, and body to investigate tendencies of global and local mobilizations of creatures, objects, and events. Nancy is an award-winning composer. Her compositions, audio walks, performances, and collaborations have toured in Germany, Denmark, Finland, Belgium, Norway, Hong Kong, the U.S. and throughout Canada. Her work is form-bending and dramaturgically rigorous, often employing task-based performance to bringing the background to the forefront in creating immersive scenographic environments. With Daniel O’Shea and Conor Wylie, Nancy runs the interdisciplinary performance collective A Wake of Vultures.
