Charlie 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), 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 worked among others with Andrea Peña & Artists (CA), Compagnie Alias (CH) , Benoit LaChambre (CA),, La Biennale di Venezia (dir. Marie Chouinard), Cie Tumbleweed (BE)  Omar Rajeh - Maqamat (FR/LB).

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.

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 3 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. 

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.  

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.

In 2024, he premiered ‘concerto’ - 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.

He also premiered his solo ‘the body symphonic’ at the ‘Movement Research Festival’ in New York City.
The work has and still is touring extensively in Europe and North America, and was selected for the Airwaves 2025, Spring Forward Festival.

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.
