Event Notes

× Crimson Coast Dance presents INFRINGING DANCE FESTIVAL at The Port Theatre / Maffeo-Sutton Park / The White Room

The Port Theatre, July 5 @ 7:30pm The Sun and the Moon

The InFrinGinG Dance Festival opens with a new work by Holly Bright: The Sun and the Moon, based on a Coast Salish creation story by Snuneymuxw author, Celestine Aleck. It features an original score by Wayne Lavallee alongside performances by local artists Genevieve Johnson, Nicola Jackson.

The evening begins with performances by Foot Prints of the Wolf and Snuneymuxw Dance Group, alongside a contemporary trio created by 3 emerging dance artists, Lisa Deptuck, Halle Ebdrup, and Mikaela Robinson.



The Port Theatre, July 7 @ 7:30pm Kalabanté: Won’Ma Afrique

"Won'Ma Afrique", meaning "our Africa" in the Schmidt language, is adapted from Kalabanté's "Africa in the Circus" performance for the Montreal Council of the Arts tour of 2017-2018 -- symbolizing the strength, agility and the joy of living of african youth. Amazing acrobats, along with their musicians, run their authentic choreographies on the frantic rhythms of djembes from Guinea.

This show radiates the diversity of African traditional arts combined with the virtuosity of the North American modern circus performance.
