Join us all over the city for Twox30! Presented in partnership with East End Arts, Jamii, Lakeshore Arts, Union Station, and Waterfront BIA, Two x 30 is a series of duet performances that explore the inextricable link between our collective and unconscious patterns of movement and our environment. What begins as ‘passing each other on the sidewalk’ soon develops into an intricate physical conversation, highlighting the complexity of human interaction and communication. It is an outdoor contemporary dance/live art work, presented in a series of 50-minute duet performances, stretching across the city of Toronto in May/June 2022.
Each highly-structured, improvised movement-based performance is paired with a robust sonic score which supports and enhances the viewing experience.
Audiences are encouraged to view the work from a variety of vantage points, on all sides of the performance area, as possible. They may sit or stand, to shift their viewing perspective.
