TORONTO (October 28, 2015) - When did you first fall in love? Kevin A. Ormsby, Artistic Director of Toronto's KasheDance, and Christopher Walker, a Jamaican choreographer working out of the U.S.A., join forces for FACING Home: Love & Redemption, a powerful contemporary dance production that investigates the global impact of Bob Marley's music - its expression of humanity's struggle and its inspiration toward love, redemption and hope - and contrasts it to the active, deep-rooted homophobia in Jamaican/West Indian Culture. The Toronto premiere of this bold new work featuring eleven performers runs Today, November 26 to Sunday, November 29 at the Aki Studio Theatre in the Daniels Spectrum arts hub in the revitalizedRegent Park area of Toronto.
The two choreographers aim to engage communities in conversation about homophobia using movement, music and poetry to access ideas of liberation and highlight the blurred lines between love, survival and choice.
