Showcase Description

“Cecilia” is a double bill made of 2 dances. The dances are not the same works but are related. It’s important to see the digital version of “Cecilia” to better understand the nuisances of the physical dance:
35 Min Digital Performance
46 Min Physical Performance

Cecilia was created during the height of COVID restrictions w/ Canada Council & BCTC support. We experimented with making art in new sustainable ways to promote green mobility. We used isolation & restriction as an opportunity to deepen the aesthetics of the work & develop new ways to reach audiences.

We experimented w/ wind as a metaphor for perseverance & women’s empowerment—w/ a bit of whimsy.

One of the dancers, Cecilia, taught us that the process was more meaningful & transformative than the performance, we were creating.

With her wittiness, Cecilia showed us how our entire lives are performances, we should show the life, not the performance.

So we called the dance Cecilia.
