Description

Welcome to mainstage: Here&Now, featuring bold, dynamic performances from the unique artistic voices shaping the future of dance in Canada. The mainstage line-up includes: 

 

  • Drown by Fareh Malik. Dance, sound, and hip-hop collide to explore the reality of displaced peoples and their struggles through generations. 
  • Feast of Fishbones by Camille Huang. Through a kaleidoscope of bodies and imagined fictions, Feast of Fishbones blends visceral movement and ancestral stories, delving into the complex dynamics of diaspora.
  • Now and at the Hour by Julia Garlisi. In this poignant and intimate piece, audiences are invited to connect with the universal, haunting emotions of grief across time and space.

 

Audiences are invited to stay following the performance for a Q+A with the choreographers and performers.

About our ticket pricing:

In an effort to make Here&Now financially accessible to most, our ticket pricing is based on the Green Bottle Method, an economic justice tool developed by Alexis J. Cunningfolk, that enables patrons to adjust payment based on access to resources. With this in mind, we’re offering three ticket prices: 

 

  • The highest tier, or a True Cost Ticket, reflects the true cost of running this event and indicates what we would need each audience member to pay to completely cover a living for artists, staff, as well as the venue fees, and more assuming every ticket was sold. 
  • The middle tier, or a General Admission Ticket, reflects the understanding that the highest tier is inaccessible to many people and offers an option that we hope will meet the majority of our audience members’ needs. 
  • The lowest tier, or Subsidized Ticket, reflects the understanding that there are folks whose economic circumstances prevent them from being able to participate in our event.

 

Please choose the ticket option that is best suited for you. If this tiered pricing still presents a barrier to your attendance at Here&Now, please fill out the form by CLICK HERE
