The Dance Centre presents: We learned a lot at our own funeral by Daina Ashbee

When: Feb 6/7/8, 2025 @ 8pm
Where: The Dance Centre (677 Davie St.)

Daina Ashbee’s radical works sit at the edge of dance and performance. Still only in her early thirties, she has garnered major awards and critical acclaim, and her bold, utterly unique creations are shown all over the world. We learned a lot at our own funeral is a compelling new work which probes the notion of death. Enveloping the audience in a potent sense of ritual, it evokes a battle with the self: the dancer challenges gravity, resists the ground, overcomes precarious balances. Finally, only the echo of the body, of its strength and fragility, remains.
