Starr Muranko is a dancer, choreographer, Mother, and Co-Artistic Director with Raven Spirit Dance. Her work explores the stories carried within our bodies and the deep connections between land, ancestry, and memory and emphasizes the importance of creative collaboration. Featured works over the past 20 years include Tracing Bones, Chapter 21, Spine of the Mother, before7after, dance films and collaborative work Confluence which have collectively been shared across Canada and internationally.

Since 2005, Starr has been honoured to dance with the Dancers of Damelahamid where she was mentored by the late Elder Margaret Harris and is currently Artist-in-Residence with Ballet BC alongside longtime collaborator Margaret Grenier. An experienced facilitator, Starr offers powerful workshops that invite community into personal story and movement as pathways of connection and remembering. She honours her Omushkegowuk Cree (Moose Cree First Nation – Treaty 9), French, and German ancestry in all that she creates.
