I have seen the work-in-progress of each piece created by Weave Movement Theatre's performers and the mentors of choice since March 2024. I have been working with them past 4 years, and seeing the solo work by each member with their diverse and distinctive aesthetics and medium of expressions are positively surprising, powerful and inspirational. Please come over to join one session or two to see their craft as soloists - six unique short works by six Weave members.

ABOUT
Building from their acclaimed 2023 production "Sense of Place", these powerful solo works stem from the individual stories spotlit during that season. Performers Riddell, David Baker, Emma Norton, Uncle Greg, Janice Florence and Trevor Dunn will come together in exciting partnerships with highly respected artists David Woods, Leesa Nash, Heaven, Cooper, Peter Fraser, Gorfinkel, Zya Luna, and Kang Wei to hone their craft as soloists, and bring six unique works to the stage.
“These are original pieces from people whose stories are universal, and stem from diverse minds, bodies, and experiences”, explains Weave Movement Theatre Artistic Director Janice Florence. “They spotlight the passions, quirks, memory, and heart of this group of solo artists with wild imagination, a sense of the absurd, and poetry of the ordinary.”
