CO-PRESENTED BY ART STARTS
Back for a 3rd year at Earlscourt Park, our program features an array of innovative dance pieces, including past Dusk Dances hits – Kaha:wi and Stink – as well as two commissions:
• First Nation’s dancer and choreographer Santee Smith, with Kaha:wi – a piece celebrating the feminine spirit and Iroquoian traditions
• Jenn Goodwin with Stink – an exhilarating and acrobatic work featuring dancers suspended from the branches of trees.
• Lua Shayenne and Roshanak Jaberi, with Bao – a traditional West African coming of age dance featuring dancers and drummers in a fusion of rhythmic movement and sound. Watch Video
• Choreographer Jon ‘Drops’ Reid will create a new b-boy/b-girl performance showcasing the talents of youth from the surrounding neighbourhood.
Hosted by Ryan Egan, with musical performance by Maderaz Latin Music.
