Published by ArtSpring

  We are truly excited by this performance and immersive week, after our artistic programmer met Nicole Rose Bond during a residency here on Salt Spring and knew he wanted to see her perform on the ArtSpring stage. Dancestors is a ritual of celebration, grief, acknowledgement, and hope. A mid-career modern dance artist, Nicole will perform a solo show based on her friendships with four great Canadian choreographers: Susan Cash, Danny Grossman, Patricia Beatty, and Peggy Baker. Reciting a letter of remembrance and gratitude, then performing a solo from each, Nicole pays respect to the guidance, generosity, and wisdom of those who came before her, and on whose shoulders she graciously stands. The final work is performed with live piano by Youngsin Choi, supporting Nicole in remembering what was, and joining her in looking forward to what is to come. Nicole will spend a week in residence, which will include community workshops, a film screening and more – stay tuned for details. Thank you to Sandra Heath for sponsoring this performance.
