Steve Cota, Choreographer
Stephen (Steve) Cota (he/him) is a choreographer, movement director, and arts educator rooted
in dance-based storytelling. Now based in Toronto, he has leapt, turned, and made funny faces
on stages across Canada, and found what would be his creative home at The Stratford Festival
in 2000. He began his career as a performer where he had the chance to learn from Susan
Strohman, Wayne Cilento, John Doyle, Des McAnuff, Antoni Cimolino, Robert McQueen, and
many more artists and collaborators who would shape his career for years to come.
Steve’s leap from performer to creative is owed to Donna Feore. Donna took Stephen under her
wing, and helped him blossom as a creative, growing from her dance captain to her Associate
Choreographer and Assistant Director up until the 2020 canceled productions of Chicago and
Here’s What It Takes. His work as a creative at The Stratford Festival led Steve to
choreographing plays, where he has been fortunate to collaborate with Antoni Cimolino, Scott
Wentworth, Morris Panych, and Peter Pasyk. Steve has workshopped new dance-based work
with the New Works Department at The Stratford Festival since 2017.
During the pandemic, Stephen founded In The Wings, a theatre training platform where he
works with artists at all levels of their career to further their training and development. It has
been the joy of his career to work with aspiring artists, helping guide them with the knowledge
and practical skills to break into the industry. He is currently continuing this work on faculty at
Sheridan College and Randolph College for the Performing Arts..
Choreography credits include: Frankenstein Revived,Love's Labor’s Lost, Midsummer Night’s
Dream, The Mad Woman of Chaillot, Romeo and Juliet, The Hypochondriac (Stratford Festival),
Mary Poppins (The Grand Theatre)
