WORKS > SECRET GARDEN

Secret Garden was created in residence at Dancemakers Toronto in 2018. Working in collaboration with installation and sculpture artist John Dixon, the performance is an intimate, self guided encounter for one audience member in communion with one performer, in an architecturally devised space. Over a five hour period, audience members cycle through, and are invited to stay as long as they wish. There are no limits to how the audience chooses to engage with the performer, but the experience of the encounter remains a private and personal event, that nobody on the exterior can ever know the truth about. The work uses two incongruous spaces as a means to distort reality.
