SUMMARY:Lukas Avendaño
DESCRIPTION:Rooted in Zapotec understandings of muxheidad\, Bardaje reanimates a word used to enforce difference with the gestures\, memories\, and cosmologies it once pushed to the margins. The work emerges from a lineage that stretches linguistically from Persian barah to Arabic bardaj to Italian bardascia—a genealogy of dissent that refuses colonial definitions of gender and sexuality. \nLukas Avendaño moves within a ritual landscape of feathers\, metallic paper\, gold\, silver\, and ayoyotes\, ancestral seeds that rattle with each step\, summoning the sensual and the sacred in equal measure. Through movement\, sound\, and adornment\, ash emerges as a polysemic ritual element unfolding in metaphors—a quintessential symbol of scorched earth\, and of the survivors who rise from the ashes of their own bodies. Bardaje becomes a living archaeology of memory and matrilineality\, where identity resists containment and vibrates through body and lineage. Neither confession nor spectacle\, Bardaje is an embodied meditation on muxheidad: a third gender that defies translation and insists on its own cosmology of beauty\, vitality\, and becoming.

SUMMARY:Royal Winnipeg Ballet
DESCRIPTION:T’əl: The Wild Man of the Woods marks a bold new chapter in the Royal Winnipeg Ballet’s repertoire. Choreographed by RWB School alumnus\, Choreographer Cameron Fraser-Monroe\, this west-coast première unfolds an Indigenous legend through the lens of a fully Indigenous creative team. \nNarrated in both English and Ayajuthem by Elder Elsie Paul\, the story follows a fearless young woman who sets out to rescue her sister from T’əl\, a dark figure who steals children under the cover of night. The evocative original score is composed by Cris Derksen\, a JUNO-nominated\, Two-Spirit cellist and composer. With stunning costume design by Asa Benally (Navajo designer and Yale alumnus)\, T’əl is a powerful fusion of movement\, music\, and storytelling that honours the richness of oral tradition. \nOne of the Royal Winnipeg Ballet’s most requested productions\, Carmina Burana is a feast for the senses—visually stunning\, musically absorbing\, and emotionally pounding. Choreographed by internationally acclaimed artist Mauricio Wainrot\, this electrifying work fuses bold\, athletic movement with Carl Orff’s cantata to create a visceral experience that transcends traditional storytelling. \nEach scene pulses with energy and emotion\, shifting seamlessly between moments of erratic intensity\, tender romanticism\, and unabashed sensuality. With sculptural lighting and costuming\, and an ensemble of dancers moving as one powerful organism\, Carmina Burana becomes more than performance—it becomes like ritual.

SUMMARY:Renae Shadler & Collaborators\, with Roland Walter
DESCRIPTION:Every body tells its story through the skin. \nConstantly shifting through contact\, the skin transforms—between bodies\, and in its exchange with the earth\, whose surface we are changing ever faster in the Anthropocene. \nPerformed by Roland Walter\, a dancer with full-body spastic paralysis\, and Renae Shadler\, a non-disabled choreographer\, SKIN creates a universe where their distinctly different bodies move toward one another. Through touch\, habitat\, and imagination\, they develop a shared movement language inspired by sea anemones\, liquid states\, and the shifting textures of the earth. \nThis duet is not about access\, but excess—a space where multiple lived experiences coexist. Between contraction and expansion\, Walter and Shadler explore new ways of relating\, dissolving the idea of “more” or “less” able bodies. SKIN becomes a meditation on contact and transformation—on how our environment both shapes us and is shaped by us.

SUMMARY:Justine A. Chambers
DESCRIPTION:The Brutal Joy unfurls Black line dancing and sartorial expression as intellectual discourse\, reverie\, and devotion to Black-living. Created by the acclaimed Vancouver-based choreographer Justine A. Chambers\, the work is rooted in her childhood memories and is a collaboration with her Black matrilineal heritage. It centers dance and fashion as living counter-archives\, and considers how movement and personal style are tools for self-determination and the reclamation of Black humanitarian value. \nA dazzling scored improvisation for dance\, lighting\, and sound\, The Brutal Joy draws from the Electric Slide and Black dandyism as embodied knowledge sources for self-actualization in the present through a dance of future possibilities. \nPost-show artist talkback February 6 \nPROGRAM
