SOMETHING TO
WRITE HOME ABOUT.
Poet, pun enthusiast, and proud owner of the loudest laugh in the room.
Hi, I’m Carly Greene Hill. I live on the traditional territories of the Lekwungen peoples, also known as Victoria, British Columbia. I’m a movement teacher, project manager, and creative performer. Through movement, live events, and creative expression, I make spaces where people feel inspired to connect, express, and grow.
Creative Roots
My creative journey began with writing, under the pen name tiny.writer, back in 2015. It was a natural extension of my studies in Psychology and Gender Studies at the University of Victoria, where I explored the intersection of academia, activism, and art.
Creativity has always been in my blood. My mother, a talented artist, inspired my love for expression, while my father, a larger-than-life gymnastics teacher known as “Big Al,” taught me the power of resilience and community. After many challenges, his journey of forgiveness and love shaped my outlook on life and work. Much of what I create is dedicated to my parents and their remarkable influence.
*A special note: My father passed away peacefully on June 4, 2023, wrapped in a quilt, surrounded by the care and compassion of the Central Okanagan Hospice House in Kelowna. His Celebration of Life was held on June 29, what would have been his 70th birthday. We came together to share words and memories about his unique story and impact on our communities.
From Page to Stage
What started as poetry quickly evolved. I began teaching movement classes that intertwined mindfulness and creativity, and I stepped onto the stage with spoken word and event emceeing. Along the way, I worked on creative event initiatives, including TEDxVictoria, and continued weaving my passions for movement, performance, and connection.
Today, my work spans:
Movement. Yoga, meditation, strength, and mobility classes designed to inspire and challenge.
Events. Coordinating, emceeing, and designing impactful experiences for communities.
Performance. Spoken word poetry, improv acting, and creative workshops that invite others to explore their artistic side.
Why It Matters
I believe creativity changes lives. It gives us permission to turn off the logical brain, embrace imperfection, and connect with our intuitive selves. When people have the opportunity to create—whether through movement, art, or shared experiences—they lead richer, more compassionate lives.
And I’m sure that you belong here, with the creatives, in the middle of all the art and wonder.
