danielle Mackenzie Long seeks to use new media and film to liberate gender non-conforming dance artists to create work that surpasses gendered bodies through visual experimentation and expanded audience access. Their work highlights alternative forms of embodiment beyond traditional stages, spatially resisting preconceived understandings of how bodies and movement can be perceived. They hold gratitude to the keepers of land on which they currently reside on; the stolen and unceded territory of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh, Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh, and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm nations. 

They have collaborated with Action at a Distance/Vanessa Goodman, Shion Skye Carter, Jasmine Liaw, and self checkout among others. danielle has been an artist in residence with Toronto Dance Theatre (Pilot Episodes, 2023), and New Works (XR Program, 2022/23, 2024).
Their film works have been shown at GRRL HAUS CINEMA, XINEMA, FAVA, FORM and Cinevolution, and live performance works presented through Boombox and New Works.
