The Dance Centre's Discover Dance! Series to Open With Corporeal Imago's LIMB(E)S
Limb(e)s is an award-winning aerial dance duet exploring the space between holding onto, or letting go of, another.
The Dance Centre's popular and long-running Discover Dance! noon series will begin a new season with Corporeal Imago. The company is known for breathtaking work which speaks to the complexities of our times through an intersection of aerial acrobatics, contemporary dance and visual theatre. Limb(e)s is an award-winning aerial dance duet exploring the space between holding onto, or letting go of, another. Unfolding to haunting original music, this is a hypnotic and quietly riveting drama danced from floor to air.
Limb(e)s was originally created and performed by Artistic Directors Gabrielle Martin and Jeremiah Hughes, and is now performed by Eowynn and Isak Enquist. There will be an artist talkback after the show.
