Dance YYC Showcase 2022 Spotlight: Ember Dance Company

Check out Ember Dance Company’s piece by getting your tickets here:
Dance YYC Showcase Weekend!

What was your inspiration or starting point for the piece you’ll be presenting at the Dance YYC showcase?

My inspiration for this piece was watching videos of starling birds. They swarm in huge groups called murmurations and create spectacular patterns in the sky. Their movements were so beautiful that they inspired me to create something! I highly suggest searching for a video on YouTube - they are mesmerizing!

Why are you looking forward to the 2022 Dance YYC showcase?

We are looking forward to the showcase because it is such a great opportunity to come together as a community across different genres and meet up with all of the amazing artists in YYC. It is an honour to be a small part of this city's movement arts scene and we are grateful to be able to share the stage with so many talented people!

Share a moment that stands out from your rehearsal/creative process.

The moments that stand out to me are the ones at the beginning of the creation process when we all listen to the music, and you can feel the creative energy coming together. The anticipation and possibilities of what could come out of the creative process feels exciting!
