We are grateful for the 2016-17 NDP Touring Award, which has enabled us to continue to adapt the project to new spaces and reach new audiences. Our tour includes performances in a variety of spaces, and residency activities including master classes/workshops with dance/art/film/music departments, conversations on themes of diaspora and cultural hybridity, on belonging and non-belonging.
To inquire about bringing this work or supporting future works at your campus, venue or institution, please contact our Touring Coordinator, Jane Forde.
Beyond:
As an extension of Stanley Street's theme on belonging and non-belonging and makeshift homes, a portion of the proceeds of our tour will be going Refuge Point, in support of the organization's efforts to resettle more than 10,000 refugees a year.
With gratitude,
Dahlia
About the work:
2125 Stanley Street is a contemporary dance performance exploring deeply personal notions of home. Dancers/co-creators Dahlia Nayar, Margaret Sunghe Paek and cellist/composer Loren Kiyoshi Dempster (see bios below) adapt the work as it migrates to various spaces: a studio, a theater, a gallery, a community grange, a buddhist church. We excavate the everyday and the mundane in search of a poetic consciousness, infusing basic tasks with virtuosity and nostalgia, summoning fragmented multilingual memories and lullabies from our childhoods. Ultimately, 2125 Stanley Street aims to invite the audience into a home that unfolds through movement, sound and intimate exchange, a home that is is both familiar and yet cannot exactly be located. Named "Best of Stage and Screen" 2015 by Downeast Magazine, Stanley Street is a recipient of the National Dance Project Touring Award for 2016-17 . See a video link for the work here.
