Details: All That Is Between is an evocative dance piece that explores the intricate dynamics of collective identity and the experience of isolation. Created by the multi-award-winning Yvonne Ng and featuring a remarkable ensemble of Canadian dancers, this captivating performance will take place at Native Earth’s Aki Studio Theatre.
Inspired by Yvonne Ng’s personal experiences, All That Is Between delves into how comfort is manifested at individual and institutional levels. The choreography weaves in elements of religious ritual, incorporating gestures that have been thoughtfully deconstructed, reconstructed, and ultimately reimagined to create a haunting resonance with the audience. These movements serve as raw expressions of loneliness and isolation, revealing the solace we seek in familiarity—whether in solitude or communion with others. Through this exploration, the work invites audiences to reflect on the profound connections that emerge from shared human experiences.
The piece features interpretations by talented dance artists Morgyn Aronyk-Schell, Johanna Bergfelt, Amelia Brown, Charlotte Cain, and Sierra Chin Sawdy.
