Post-show artist/audience conversation on Friday, May 13 facilitated by Joyce Rosario
Rebel Grace explores gentle transgressions as acts of resistance, empowerment and gratitude. Expect scenes of rupture, repair and sweet subversion. Rebel Grace s conjured by Ziyian Kwan in collaboration with dance artists Lisa Mariko Gelley, Andrea Nann, Justin Calvadores and Rianne Svelnis. These inimitable performers traverse the rhythm and rhyme of imagery, text and movement – in conversation with live music from multi-instrumentalist Roxanne Nesbitt and Taiko artist E. Kage.

Ruptures of normal in bendings of space.
With eros and pathos and ethos at play
Dreaming tomorrow by mending today.
