From The Top

Commisioned and premiered by Mocean Dance (2022)

Choreography: Syreeta Hector
4 dancers | 22 minutes

New Brunswick born Syreeta Hector returns to her Atlantic roots to explore our personal and performative identities, and our connection to land and space in an ensemble piece. This highly physical quartet examines the roots that connect us to our family histories and considers what we inherit from our ancestors and the landscape of Eastern Canada. Delving into essential elements of human conversation, From the Top celebrates the potential of how unique identities can create a cohesive voice.
