Nocturne 2020

Dance Echoes

Premiered at Nocturne on Friday, October 16th

Dance Echoes features 40 dance artists from across Mi’kma’ki.

This collaborative film explores the shared echoes of our experience in the world and highlights the interconnectedness of people and places through our shared medium of the human body.

The piece was created in sequence with each dancer echoing a resonant movement from the previous artist, continuing to create based on this point of inspiration. Drawing on Nocturne’s theme of “echolocation”, Dance Echoes considers how we find ourselves in our own bodies and in the communities we inhabit, and how individual and collective experiences echo each other.
