Tin Gamboa is a dance artist who was born and raised on ancestral lands of Austronesian people, in a place now commonly known as Manila, Philippines. She is currently living on the unceded and ancestral homelands of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh First Nations, now known as Vancouver, Canada. With her Filipino blood rumbling through her tapping toes and dancing body, her bi-cultural lens informs her work in choreography and facilitation. She has had the privilege of working with different artists, communities, and scholars who share their own viewpoints and lived experiences. Tin is honoured to have had opportunities to dance with Raven Spirit Dance, Body Orchestra Collective, and FakeKnot.

Most recently, Tin completed her Masters of Fine Arts education at Simon Fraser University, where she was able to enrich her informal cultural research in the Philippines (2019-2020), with the support of the Canada Council. Tin’s focus has been on gestures and stories that reside in the body, seeing the body as the entry point to reflect on one’s position in place as well as past, present, and future.
