SPECIAL PRESENTATION
DANCE AMONG THE STARS
We are traceable to the very beginnings of the universe, our ancestral origins stretching across the Milky Way to the atoms burning inside of us here on earth.
Experience the exhilarating production and breathtaking artistry of Canada’s leading contemporary Indigenous performance company. Trace maps Anishinaabe sky and star stories through inspirational Indigenous storytelling and cutting-edge dance. In this dynamic contemporary dance work, six dancers and three musicians offer a glimpse into our origins as well as a vison for future.
Winner of two Dora Mavor Moore Awards and nominated for four Dora Awards. Bring your friends and family—especially the dance lovers in your life—to experience this gorgeous work that brings a whole new form of storytelling and performance to the WCT audience.
Our appreciation to Western Canada Theatre for the write-up and Red Star for the video.
Thank you Western Canada Theatre for this impressive troupe.
"Trace is a highly kinetic contemporary dance and music work inspired by indigenous (Anishinaabe) sky and star stories, offering a glimpse into our origin as well as our future evolution.
We are traceable to the beginnings of the universe, our ancestral origins stretching across the Milky Way to the atoms burning inside of us in the here and now.
Trace is a sumptuous creation that looks at all things culture, as a nation and as an individual."
Sandra Laronde, Founder & Artistic Director of Red Sky Performance.
The synchronicity and musicality were exceptional with the dancers performing non-stop for sixty minutes. The supporting graphics and lighting backlit their routine adding a depth to each movement.
Thank you, Red Sky dancers and support staff, for an enjoyable adventure.
