Ben Waters is a dancer and composer from Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada. Ben is a lifelong musician and self-taught composer with a passion for integrating dance with music. Ben was first commissioned to compose original music for Ethan Colangelo's "a vanishing thread" (Jan 2022) for Whim W'Him in Seattle. Since then, Ben has composed several scores for Ethan and many other voices in the North American and European dance communities including Ballet BC, the National Ballet of Canada, BODYTRAFFIC (Fernando Magadan), Ballet de Monterrey (Robbie Fairchild), Dallas Black Dance Theatre (Norbert De La Cruz III), The Joffrey Ballet (Martha Nichols), and many more. Although each of Ben's original compositions vary in style, his musical works are often characterized by rich harmonic soundscapes, soaring melodies, and heavy, intricate percussion.
