HOMEGROWN: Signature Programme 2, curated by Fall for Dance North in collaboration with Esie Mensah, highlights international collaborations and shining lights in a mixed bill that can only happen here. With bold new work from The National Ballet of Canada, international Street Dance sensation Lady C’s 2024 Dora Award-winning solo CYMATIX, and Traditional West African Dance from Lua Shayenne Dance Company, Toronto audiences will experience some of the vast breadth of creativity emanating from the city we call home.
The evening closes with a moving world premiere co-created by Ambrose Tjark and Kwasi Obeng Adjei. This collaboration of Canadian and Nigerian dancemakers draws on West African and African Street Dance to develop a cross-cultural narrative rooted in unspoken bonds.
