Parallel Paths
Parallel Paths is based on the possibility that the life you are living is also being lived by a person whom you might cross paths with or never interact. It is the feeling of being lost and feeling alone. It is the idea of life’s paths crossing and having near misses. Where are we, as humans, supposed to be in our lives? Are we in the place we are supposed to be? At what point are you failing yourself? Are we alone on our journeys?
Choreography: Jessica Lowe & Anastasia Wiebe

from Adam to ashes
Choreography: Tyler Angell
Premiered April 2018 at the Winchester Street Theatre, Toronto, ON
When contemplating the human condition, it is clear that traces of ancient barbaric traits still remain in spite of evolution. Even in modern society, as humans we continue to be governed by our primal instincts; every facet of our existence is influenced by our innate desires. This internal dissonance of primal instinct versus societal construction leads us to sometimes make choices with dangerous global implications. Can we redeem ourselves and keep our instincts at bay? Or will our actions render the world as we know it to ashes?
