Ame Henderson is a Canadian choreographer and performance-maker raised on Vancouver Island. Henderson received a BFA from Concordia University (Montreal) and MFA from the Amsterdam School of the Arts.[1]

In 2003, Henderson co-founded Public Recordings,[2] an artist-led collective based in Toronto that creates works in dance, theatre, music, and publication.[3] Henderson garnered praise and critical attention for her 2006 show /Dance/Songs/, created in collaboration with performers Chad Dembski, Claudia Fancello, and Matija Ferlin, with video by Daniel Arcé.[4] After premiering at The Theatre Centre in Toronto, the show toured across Canada and internationally through 2009.[5] Henderson's what we are saying (2013) marked another critical success.[6] The show premiered at The Power Plant at Toronto's Harbourfront Centre and won two Dora Mavor Moore Awards in the dance division for Outstanding Production and Best Ensemble in 2014.[7] Working with a rotating group of performers and collaborators the show went on to tour Canada and Europe through 2016.[8]

Henderson has frequently worked with Christopher House[9] and created new work at Toronto Dance Theatre, including Henderson/Castle: voyager (2014) in collaboration with singer-songwriter Jennifer Castle.[10]
