Taking place at Inverlea Park, with a bridge present in the background, three duets occur. Working with pairs of two artists from different artistic disciplines, different cultural backgrounds and different sexual orientations – who have been living together during the pandemic – each duet uses the metaphor of how a river flows and changes to portray how relationships also shift over time.

Aria Evans is a queer, Toronto-based, award winning interdisciplinary artist working in dance; creation, performance and film. Aria draws on their experiences with Afro-Indigenous, settler heritage as well as their BFA (2012) to capture meaningful social and cultural themes through their interactive art. Collaboration is the departure point for the work that Aria creates with their company Political Movement.

(Show More...)

Political Movement was founded in 2015 out of a desire to create contemporary dance theatre that uses a choreographic process to reflect the ideals of socially conscious art. Collaboration is a key component to how the company works and the projects that Aria undertakes. Centring the artists in each creative process, part of Artistic Director Aria Evans’ personal mandate is to showcase diversity by representing Turtle Island’s rich cultural landscape. The seven works Aria has created under Political Movement, to date, have all been created from a social/political lens while examining personal narratives and experience.
