Followed by a Q&A with the artists, facilitated by Bizz Varty
Filmed on location at Port Stanley beach in 2021, this full-length dance work explores the elements of grief and growth through storytelling. All of the artists involved were provided the opportunity to share personal stories from their perspective in a safe space that welcomed dancers to be raw vulnerability without fear of judgment. The result is a deeply moving piece that will take audiences on an emotional journey.
“Collectively, we created a show exploring the Grieving process. Based on everyone’s individual stories, this experience allowed us to see others, witness their stories, and be seen.”
