Program

Backbone

Having a backbone is representative of someone who is strong within themselves and their values. While some of us may have grown backbones in relation to certain circumstances, there was once a time where we lacked this, where we were vulnerable. Through choreography and light, the journey of attaining a backbone through this vulnerability is depicted.

Puzzle

Puzzle is a group piece that features dancers in Mexico, Ontario, and Vancouver. We work across borders, explore the individuality and identity of each dancer, and how we fit or do not fit to others.

Remain

"The very fact that my body is solid and real and here proves that I exist. But, I have memories floating around in my head, and I have feelings spinning around in my chest, and I have emotions stretching across my skin and I can't help but wonder if those things exist."  Natalia Martineau

"I know that I am fleeting, temporal. But how could I look up at the stars and ask for more than infinity to be given to me, when infinity is in the palm of my hand when I hold the hand of someone I love?" Rose Lynn

"Our place in the universe I feel is always exactly where we are, so when I think of my "higher self" right now I really am just thinking about myself. I try not to separate my mind, body and spirituality." Ursula Blanchard
