Description

An ensemble improvisation work created in real time through deep listening, response, and presence. Built on a unique methodology developed over years, the performance unfolds without fixed choreography, allowing dance to be composed instantaneously in relation to space, time, and each performer. Structured in three parts, two shorter works and one longer piece,  each presentation is distinct and unrepeatable. Reflecting the experience of migration, it explores adaptation, connection, and the ongoing negotiation between self, collective, and environment.

In the spirit of storytelling, we pause to honour this land's ancient and contemporary narratives. We stand upon the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.

Just as we celebrate the diverse voices of immigrant and refugee artists, we recognize the First Peoples who have woven this place's first and enduring tales. Their stories are a testament to resilience, creativity, and the power of community. As we come together from many corners of the world, may we always remember, respect, and learn from this land's stories.
