Ben Waters

Ben Waters is a Vancouver-based composer writing original music for dance, film, and interactive media. A Dora Mavor Moore Award winner, he's known for rich harmonic soundscapes, soaring melodies, and heavy intricate percussion.

Ben was first commissioned to compose for Ethan Colangelo's "A Vanishing Thread" (Whim W'Him, 2021). Since then he's scored work for companies and choreographers worldwide, including the National Ballet of Canada, Nederlands Dans Theater 2, Ballet BC, BODYTRAFFIC, Ballet de Monterrey, Hubbard Street Dance Chicago and The Joffrey Ballet.

After working as a professional dancer before stepping into composing full-time, Ben brings a mover's instinct for timing, weight, and theatricality. He has expanded his practice into film and game scoring, and is available for commissions across all three.
