Emily Johnson / Catalyst: Overflow Radio at Northrop

The creation of Catalyst director and choreographer Emily Johnson, Overflow Radio is a performance gathering — an immersive and transformative communal experience rooted in Johnson’s decades-long practice of gathering people together with good intention, enough time and support. This boundary-pushing, all-ages experience welcomes everyone and takes place across four six-hour performance gatherings over four days.

Each six-hour cycle will include: Listening to live radio transmissions from First Nations and Indigenous writers; viewing and sitting within an installation of 84 quilts; witnessing movement and dance from Catalyst performers; eating food together; and skill shares from local experts. Join us and spend time gathering to learn, to heal, to connect.
