Dusk Dances at Earlscourt this weekend

The wonderful Dusk Dances makes its last area appearance starting tonight and running to Sunday. Always eclectic and offbeat this is a great family opportunity to see some of Canada's most innovative and talented dancers. This year has a great lineup including Santee Smith, a Mohawk from Six Nations who always brings great passion to her works. Dusk Dance events are always fun, enlightening, and PWYC!

• First Nation’s dancer and choreographer Santee Smith, with Kaha:wi – a piece celebrating the feminine spirit and Iroquoian traditions

• Jenn Goodwin with Stink – an exhilarating and acrobatic work featuring dancers suspended from the branches of trees.

• Lua Shayenne and Roshanak Jaberi, with Bao – a traditional West African coming of age dance featuring dancers and drummers in a fusion of rhythmic movement and sound.

• Choreographer Jon ‘Drops’ Reid will create a new b-boy/b-girl performance showcasing the talents of youth from the surrounding neighbourhood.
