A solo dance performed by Jillian Peever, with choreography by Sasha Ivanochko
A sculptural slow burn. A confined space. A woman with volume. With an emphasis on task-based creative process, the individual emerges, and navigates her whole being with aliveness through a moment in time. The source is the body. The body in action reveals truths.
World premiere Dec 1, 2021 @ The Citadel, Toronto, ON
Collaborating artists: Sasha Ivanochko (Choreography), Tanya White (Costume Design), Matthew Ariaratnam (Sound Design), James Kendal (Set Design), Noah Feaver (Lighting Design).
