Hello friends and colleagues!

I co-created and am performing in an upcoming show called Passages. It’s a collision of dance + film + live electro music. Some of you may have seen it in its infancy last year when musician Arthur Yeung, filmmaker Lesley Loksi Chan and I workshopped it during our HATCH residency at Harbourfront Centre. We’ve been busy re-tooling it with a great outside eye: Jacob Zimmer (Dancemakers, Small Wooden Shoe) and have since slimmed down our group,The Looking Sea Collective, to a mighty trio. Hope you can join us on this evocative ride. Here’s our nifty trailer and a flattering preview. Or keep tabs on us through The Looking Sea’s Facebook page. More »

Hi Judith,
Hope you are well. I was wondering if you could post this for us. 3 of the performers and 1 musician, who played at The Pearl Company last winter with Dave Wilson’s Parahumans as part of Tanis’s show, will be in this summer FRINGE show ‘twentysomethings’. Hope we can get some audiences from Hamilton to Toronto for the FRINGE festival and of course check out our dance show.
Thanks, Kate
