Born in Berwick, Nova Scotia in 1961, Bill Coleman studied dance at the Doreen Bird School of Theatre Dance in London, England.
His professional career started in 1979 with Sir Anton Dolin of the Dublin City Ballet.
Since then, he has created over 50 works and performed with Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane & Co., Tere O’Connor Dance, Wiesbaden Ballet, Toronto Dance Theatre,
The Martha Graham Dance Company, William Douglas Danse, Laurence Lemieux, Jean-Pierre Perreault and others.
Bill Coleman’s work has been presented in Scotland, Italy, Singapore, Russia, throughout the United States and Canada.
He is the co-founder of Bill Coleman & His North American Experience with composer John Oswald, Heartland Events with Michael Caplan, and Coleman/Lemieux & Compagnie with his wife Laurence Lemieux.
In 2002 Bill received the Canada Council Jaqueline-Lemieux Prize. Mr. Coleman was selected on the basis of his considerable contribution to Canadian dance.
The selection committee said:"Bill Coleman’s presence is pan-Canadian and international. His work as a creator stems from a deep place within himself.
He is a visionary, a humanitarian, whose work shows uncompromising originality and immense vision.
The breadth, scope and impact of his work in dance have made a vital contribution to the Canadian dance scene."
