She has trained in ballet since the age of four, then later in social dance, jazz, national dance and modern at Chelsea College of P.E., Eastbourne. Extensive travel was then mixed with further training in Calgary, Montreal and Vancouver, performing with the Alberta vaudeville group Roaring Twenties (1974-78).

Viv co-founded Remote Control with Dave Wilson in 1979 (Vancouver) and participated in the inaugural fFIDA in 1991 (Toronto). She has co-written several publications, presented at international conferences and has worked with community dance in London, England and Canada (RNIB, CNIB, deaf and partial hearing, multi-abilities and psychiatric survivors).

Viv has taught at McMaster and Ryerson Universities, Seneca, George Brown and Sheridan Colleges. She has been teaching at Humber since 1985 (Theatre Arts - Performance and Acting for Film & Television), where she choreographed main stage productions and directed Decadance, dance company within the Theatre Department. Viv was co-choreographer to the Humber contingent of theatre students who represented Ontario at Expo 86 in Vancouver.

Viv received a Harold (1998) and was national-co-ordinator of Fight Directors, Canada (Advanced Combatant). She has a BFA (Dean’s Honours List) and an MA in dance from York University.

Selected credits: Viv has been an actor and company member of Theatre Rusticle (The Stronger, Birnam Wood, Peter & The Wolf, Our Town); and movement coach and choreographer for Theatre Direct (Dora-ominated Sanctuary Song) and on plays and films, including Hedda Gabler (Dir. Judith Thompson, Shaw Festival), Midsummer Night’s Dream (Dir. Kate Lynch, Theatre Passe Muraille), La Danza (Quartetto Gelato), Emily's Piano, the Dora-nominated Between the Stairs, and  Antigone (YPT). Viv has created work with EFDSS (English Folk Dance & Song Society) in England.

Dance films include Waking the Witch, Ohm, tra la la. She has danced in Denise Fujiwara’s Conference of the Birds and with Sashar Zarif Dance Theatre.

Some of Viv’s own dance theatre works include Bogie Woman (1999 Paula Citron fFIDA Award), Body Geometry-Seventh Angel (2002 Dora nomination), On Tenterhooks (Nuit Blanche-Distillery) and her solo show, Worcestershire Saucy, which she choreographed, produced and performed at Factory Theatre.

In 2012 Viv received a Chalmer's Fellowship of the Arts to further her studies in English step dance, weaponry and butoh. In 2014 she was artistic director and curator of the inaugural Body Percussion Festival and she has been curator and macro choreographer for 60x60.

She continues to study butoh, dance improvisation and physical theatre. Viv has recently acted in the films The Witch (Sundance 2015), God & Doubting Women and had a recurring acting role with stunts in the TV series Damien (A&E March 2016). She was featured as CADA’s (Canadian Alliance of Dance Artists) member of the month in October 2016.
