Until You See Me
Hanna Kiel for The National Ballet of Canada’s Apprentices
“Discovering Your True Self” is a journey of self-exploration and personal growth in which you embark on a quest to understand your innermost desires, values, and aspirations. It’s a process of peeling back the layers of your identity to reveal the authentic you, embracing both your strengths and vulnerabilities. This piece is about the human experience, delving deep into the human spirit’s capacity for self-discovery, and offering profound insights and life-changing revelations along the way.
Kula Devi
Kala Dance Collective
Informed by our foundation in Bharatanatyam, Kula Devi, is an homage to our ancestral goddesses, reflecting on the intertwining roles of deity and devotee. Ritual and the significance of repetition are examined, revealing how caring for deity mirrors self-care. The piece celebrates the resilience and reverence of our heritage within a contemporary context.

PAJAROJITO
Sofi Gudiño
PAJAROJITO is a flamenco drag king extravaganza and a love letter to Latin masculinity. Inspired by flamboyant male birds of the tropics, this lover boy is a helpless flirt who is determined to show off his brightest feathers in the hopes of becoming your next crush.
