Erin Eldershaw
Fight Choreographer
Erin Eldershaw is a multi-disciplinary artist, specializing in acting, teaching, choreographing, and fight directing all across Eastern Ontario. Among the many artistic hats she dons, Erin has recently welcomed her first child into the world, adding ‘Mom’ to the list of titles.
An Ottawa-born Canterbury H.S. graduate, she moved to Toronto to pursue an education with George Brown College’s Acting Conservatory program, and prides herself on the eclectic mix of performances and certifications she has completed, specifically focusing on female empowerment and queer centric new works. As an actor, Erin was kindly awarded two nominations & one win for “Best Supporting Actor” from My Entertainment World.
Fascinated by physical theatre and movement economy, Erin threw herself into learning all about stage violence and martial arts, accumulating advanced certifications with the Fight Directors of Canada. She has since gone on to choreograph for companies such as Great Canadian Theatre Company, a Company of Fools, Theatre By The Bay, Opera York, West Island Theatre Company, and more. She continues to teach at high schools and colleges across Ontario, as well as offering pop-up workshops locally.
Erin has recently moved to Montreal and cannot be more excited to be joining the LWRFH team as their Fight Choreographer this summer! Feeling incredibly welcomed and completely jazzed, Erin is absolutely thrilled to *murther* everyone… Let’s get messy!
