Three new dance works:

Everything and Nothing

By Alexis Fletcher | Performers Lazaro Silva, Oksana Maslechko, Marisa Antoinette Gold

As we face collective realities of endangerment, despair and isolation, this work in progress explores how cultivating a sense of togetherness with others and a re-bonding with the natural world, can nurture new ways of being. 

OSMOCOSM:  Each night, a new scent, a new creation – a new world.

Osmocosm: The world of scents and other volatile moleculesChoreographers/performers: Delia Brett & Isabelle Kirouac

Composer/performer: Stefan Smulovitz 

In Osmocosm, the audience and the performers merge their collective imagination in osmonautical travel. Voyaging from scent to language, to music, to dance and beyond we enter a deep space of volatile construction….

Please note: this work contains the use of scent strips (fragrance oil) that will be provided to the audience.There will be no invasive spaying scents in the air, however if you are very scent sensitive please consider this.  

EDAM´s Ensemble

EDAM’s Artistic Director Peter Bingham brings to the stage a directed dance improvisation,  which gives space for the strange, peripheral, vulnerable, and playful to unfold. Building on the ensemble's research into associative vocal interjections and supported by EDAM’s creative grounds in Contact Improvisation, seven dancers navigate spatial and sensorial parameters. Above all, the work underscores the intrinsic care, trust, and commitment between the eight adept performers: Anne Cooper, Francesca Frewer, Hayley Gawthrop, Arash Khakpour, Alex Mah, Diego Romero, Olivia Shaffer, and Antonio Somera Jr.

Health and Safety Protocols: Masks are recommended but not mandatory
