BODY, a collaborative piece between Korea and Canada, is an exhilarating journey celebrating self-expression through movement.
This performance delves into the unique styles and organic rhythms of ten exceptional dancers, each showcasing their deeply individualistic body language. BODY transcends boundaries, elevating body language to unprecedented heights and igniting a profound celebration of our most primal form of communication. BODY was awarded ‘Audience Choice Award’ at Dance Made in Canada Festival in 2023.
