Our Work

Current/Upcoming:

Gathering Light – (Choreographed by Michelle Olson) is a contemporary dance work for four 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.” Upcoming Performances include the Dancing on the Edge Festival in Vancouver, July 16 and 17, 2010.
