Exhale

Belle Spirale Dance Projects is thrilled to present Exhale, our spring program featuring 2 new creations. 

World Premiere by Wen Wei Wang
Working with dancers Alexis Fletcher and Justin Rapaport, Wang explores the intimate geography of human connection. Joined by mezzo-soprano Emma Parkinson, they investigate the delicate textures of human connection—how we touch, how we breathe together, and how we navigate the weight of final moments. In Wang's hands, the interplay of dance and voice becomes a meditation on presence, distance, and the choices we make when everything hangs in the balance.
It's a rare opportunity to witness one of Canada's most celebrated choreographers in dialogue with seasoned performers, complete with the wonder of live music.

World Premiere by Alexis Fletcher and Ariana Barr

Co-created by Alexis Fletcher, Sylvain Senez and Ariana Barr, this intimate solo navigates the accumulated traces of a lifetime— the tender ephemera we gather and eventually leave behind. A meditation on how legacy shapes our present choices, this work examines the profound ways the past influences who we become and what we pass on.

Presented as a solo for Ariana, the artists weave between the domestic and the subconscious, reflecting upon the collision of past and future and the universal yearning to make sense of what has come before.
