Guelph Dance presents Anxiety by Simik Komaksiutiksak ON THE STAGE for the 27th annual Guelph Dance Festival.
This project focuses on collaborative practices, through the creation of a common choreographic body of work grounded in improvised movement. The piece is an outlook on intergenerational trauma and a study of different mannerisms, gestures, and physical traits that we each carry, stemming from our anxieties. Simik’s desire is to explore how we release and free tensions through the expressive body while connecting generational knowledge and bridging this into dance form and expression, to build a joint methodology and artistic vocabulary. Anxiety is an evolving and adaptable creation, it is a reflection on human experiences on how they are feeling that day.
