However, this was not the case at Prevailing Voices. I am often apprehensive of the immersive quality of dance in solo shows – not to say many dancers aren’t wonderful and exquisite, I only sometimes find solo performances less impactful. 'On a dreary Thursday night in February, I went to see two wonderful women bare their souls through dance at the Pia Bouman School’s Scotiabank Theatre, and I’m so glad that I did. This period of workshops and creation will culminate in a sharing hosted at the Young Centre for the Performing Arts to present the work thus far.Ĭheck out this beautiful, thoughtful and insightful review for Prevailing Voices by My Entertainment World! The program will include site-visits to Toronto History Museum locations: Spadina House, Colborne Lodge, Mackenzie House, Montgomery’s Inn, Scarborough Museum, Gibson House, Fort York Visitor Centre, Market Gallery, Todmorden Mills, and Zion Schoolhouse. The artists will all be creating site-specific performance art related works that speak to the anti-colonial, anti-racist, anti-oppressive messaging behind the Awakenings philosophy. Participants will also be receiving private workshop sessions with internationally renowned immersive theatre company Punchdrunk. Workshop leaders include mentors mentors Weyni Mengesha, Esie Mensah, d’bi young anitafrika, Lucius Dechausay and Rachel Forbes from the team who came together to create the inaugural Awakenings performance piece – “ A Revolution of Love”. The first phase of the program will involve workshops along with the Soulpepper Academy, focusing on site-specific and immersive works. Throughout the process of the mentorship, participants’ work and exploration will be documented by the City of Toronto, and the footage will be used for a mini documentary series chronicling the program.
