Heather Laura Gray is an Emmy Award–winning multi-genre choreographer, who draws on her early career as an actor, dancer, and singer to shape a collaborative and narrative-driven choreographic approach. 

Recent choreography credits for the screen include the feature film Harmonia starring Lilly James, Carrie Coon and directed by *Academy Award winning director Guy Native as well as the Netflix series The Altruists starring Julia Garner. She received a Children’s and Family Emmy Award for Outstanding Choreography for Monster High: The Movie (Paramount+/Nickelodeon), with additional Emmy nominations for projects such as Monster High 2, Snow Day, The J Team (starring Jojo Siwa) and Henry Danger: The Movie (starring Frankie Grande). Her screen choreography also includes 6 seasons of the television series Riverdale, where she created choreography for several full musical episodes, as well as the feature film Needle in a Timestack (directed by Academy Award winner John Ridley, starring Cynthia Erivo).

Heather began working in arts and entertainment at a young age through acting in film, television, voice-over, and print before developing a deep commitment to dance training in Vancouver and Montreal. She studied at institutions including Arts Umbrella, L’École supérieure de danse du Québec, and Goh Ballet Academy, building a foundation that spans ballet, modern, contemporary, jazz, flamenco, and chinese fan dance. She then went on to study and perform street & club styles such as waacking, vogueing popping, breaking in Toronto and Vancouver.

Select performance credits: Singer/Dancer/Actor in 3 Disney Cruise musicals, along with Toronto and P.E.I regional musical theatre. She had the pleasure of dancing, singing and acting in the Electric Company’s movie musical for CBC,  “The Score” choreographed by Crystal Pite and Kelly Konno/Marty Kedelka for The Lizzie Mcguire Movie. Select purely acting credits include: Penelope in Earthsea(miniseries), Madame Thibideaux in Dead Like Me (TV Series). 

Alongside her screen work, Heather ‘s live performance and choreography experience is wide. She is currently choreographing the award winning play People, Places and Things  with Mindy Parfitt’s - The Search Party. 

Her choreography has been presented by organizations and festivals such as the Vancouver International Dance Festival, Vancouver’s Eco Fashion Week, The Dance Centre, Dances for a Small Stage, and Soundbites Festival in New York City. She has been commissioned by Ballet Kelowna, Coastal City Ballet, Lamon Dance Company, and the City of Vancouver’s Cherry Blossom Festival among others. Her full-length contemporary work The Tunnelcombined multimedia design and choreography and was quoted by the Georgia Straight as featuring dramatic and haunting visual effects alongside raw yet refined movement. Heather has also performed full length contemporary dance works by choreographers including Amber Funk Barton, Claire French, Martha Carter, and Judith Garay, sustaining a practice that moves between concert dance creation, commercial choreography, and interdisciplinary performance.

Heather is currently collaborating with University of British Columbia professor Steven Barnes on the Canadian Professional Dance Lineage Map, a national research and creation project using Barnes’ Tapestry Tool in partnership with New Works Dance (Vancouver) and Dance Collection Danse (Toronto). The project aims to build a Canada-wide interactive lineage map of influential dance artists and choreographic connections spanning from the 1970s to the present. The team is currently developing grant applications and working with a cohort of artists and advisors to help shape the research process.
