Sept. 26-27. Solo in High Park (September 26-27 at 2 PM) In High Park in Toronto.

Co-curated by Seika Boye & Timea Wharton-Suri

This program introduces audiences to a variety of dance styles from solo artists who reveal the precision, depth and significance of their craft and the importance of the audience to the art they make. Solo in High Park features award-winning flamenco dancer Carmen Romero performing Mi Amapola, a dance commemorating (or paying honour to) life and death; internationally acclaimed tap artist Travis Knights exposing the rich tradition of tap dance while exploring the challenges of interpersonal human connection; world-renowned house dancer Raoul Wilke examining, through movement, how we shield our emotions through art; and award-winning choreographer Alyssa Martin and performer Sam Grist from Rock Bottom Movement taking an unrestrained adventure into the life of a modern dancer with one last shred of hope in the year 3029.
