Gathering Light

Gathering Light – (Choreographed by Michelle Olson) is a contemporary dance work for three dancers. "From seed to flower, from girl to woman, from structures that do not support our own truths to ceremonies that support our full bloom, Gathering Light explores the impulses rooted in our bodies and that  travel through us to find the light."  Recent Performances included the Noon Dance series at the Scotia Dance Centre on Thursday September 24th 2009 and the Weesagachak Festival in Toronto, Dancing on the Edge 2010 and Dance Allsorts 2011. Gathering Light will tour in 2012.
