Charlie Khalil Prince (1991) is a Lebanese  dance & performance artist . His interests are rooted in the intersection of the political and the poetic body, and the many profound resonances this may create. As a classically trained musician, he perceives the musical gesture as choreographic, which serves as the foundation for all his performances. His trandisciplinary choreographic work and installations have been presented in several major festivals and theatres– including FTA - Festival TransAmériques (CA), Impulstanz (AU) SPRING Festival(NL), Dansmakers Amsterdam (NL), Rencontres chorégraphiques internationales de Seine-Saint-Denis (FR), Vancouver International Dance Festival (CA), Tangente (CA), Oktoberdans (NO), Fabricca Europa (IT) and BIPOD (LB).

As a performer, Charlie has collaborated among others with Andrea Peña & Artists (CA), Compagnie Alias (CH) , Benoit LaChambre (CA), La Biennale di Venezia (dir. Marie Chouinard), Cie Tumbleweed (BE)  and Omar Rajeh - Maqamat (LB).

Charlie holds a Bachelor of Music from McGill University in Montréal with a minor in Relgious Studies- and continues to engage as a composer in his artistic practice.^[1]

In 2023, he was artist-in-residence at the Villa Empain in Brussels, where he won an award for dance and performance from the Boghossian Foundation.^[2]

In 2025, he was selected as an Aerowaves Twenty25 Artist in Europe for his solo 'the body symphonic' , which will take place in Gorizia, Italy.^[3]

In 2019 saw the birth of his first piece NOT ON THIS EARTH, a collaboration with Dutch-based choreographer Keren Rosenberg addressing conflict as a human condition, created and premiered at DANSMAKERS in Amsterdam, NL. The work was described by TheaterKrant as ‘hot, unstoppable and painful’ and went on to perform in Utrecht, Marseille and Montréal.^[4]

In 2021, Charlie premiered Cosmic A* at SPRING Festival in Utrecht, NL. This explosive and virtuosic solo , accompanied by live musician Joss Turnbull, received critical acclaim and was presented on several major platforms in Germany, Italy and France throughout the year.

In 2022 he premiered ‘L’ogre, le Phoenix et l’ami fidéle’, a 4 hour durational solo created in collaboration with choreographer and somatic practitioner Benoit Lachambre.at the Vancouver International Dance Festival (CA). The piece addresses questions regarding healing, recognition, and resilience in Lebanese collective memory of the civil war and historical amnesia. The work later on to tour at Impulstanz in Vienna, Centro de Las Aries de San Luis Potosí in Mexico and Parcours Danse in Montréal.

That same year he was commissioned to create  Migration Parade: Helical Song , a gallery installation in response to the felted sculptures of Alexandra Goodall and the sound installation of Danielle Savage. The work involved 6 performers, weaving within a mycelium of co-habitation and rhizome and ran at the Penticton Art Gallery, BC.^[5]

Charlie also premiered in 2022 ‘states of body produced by an emergency’ as part of the FLY project initiated by the Ecole de Danse Contemporaine de Montréal. A work for 6 emerging professional dancers that addresses how the body can hope, celebrate and commune within and in front of the state of global collapse.

In 2023 Charlie was artist in residence at the Villa Empain in Brussels, Belgium, after having been awarded the Boghossian Foundation prize for Excellence in Dance and Performance.^[6]

In 2024, he premiered concerto at Tangente Danse in Montréal, Canada - a collaboration with writer and musician Olivia Tapiero. conceived as a gutted concert-installation, the work is a deep-dive into the gesture of mourning as an attunement rather than a succumbing. The work will be presented at the 2025 edition of the FTA- Festival TransAmériques in Montréal.^[7]

Also in 2024, Prince premiered the body symphonic in New York City at Movement Research Festival.

the body symphonic is a solo performance - concert that observes the body as a site of resistance, an engaged this body which journeys through rituals of excavation - revealing new and unbound mythologies and allowing for a limitless agency of self-representation and rootedness. Created in response to the multiple political and geopolitical crises in Lebanon - this work is a meditation on the body’s place in the struggle for liberation , where looking back , looking in and forward become strategies of steadfastness and liberation.

In 2025, Charlie will opened his first visual art solo exhibition at OBORO gallery in Montréal with a video installation called 'to a still moment repeated' . Created alongside Lebanese film-maker Karim Ghorayeb, 'to a still moment repeated' is a profound meditation on hope and the body’s capacity to find the poetics within, one that is as inseparable from its sense of power and agency, regardless of the context.
