26/27 Season
The 2026/27 season explores the theme of INHERITANCE — what we leave behind, what remains with us, what we choose to carry forward, and what continues to shape us.
WHAT WE CARRY FORWARD
Welcome to DanceWorks’ 2026/27 season - an offering shaped by connection, continuity, and the evolving relationships that move artistic practice and presentation forward.
In curating this season, I have been thinking deeply about the people, histories, and creative exchanges that shape our community. Dance is an art form built through transmission, mentorship, collaboration, shared experience, cultural memory, and the ongoing dialogue between generations of artists and audiences.
This season reflects those ideas. The works gathered here explore what we carry with us, what we pass on, and how performance can hold both memory and possibility at the same time. They ask us to consider choreography not only as movement, but as a living practice of listening, witnessing, questioning, and gathering.
As we move toward our 50th Anniversary in 2027, this season also serves as a bridge: honouring the foundations that brought us here while looking toward the future we are building together.
Across theatres, studios, and shared spaces throughout the city, we invite you to join us for a season of bold artistry, conversation, and collective presence.
Thank you for being part of our story.
