We are so thankful to get the opportunity to bring “How Do You Live?” to life at the Five Points Theatre as part of the Barrie Theatre Festival presented by 🩶

Featuring deeply personal choreographies, our dancers vulnerably share their truth. This is a show you won’t want to miss!

When our lives change, we sometimes ask the universe how do I live? We wrestle with this question, alone, until we are ready to open ourselves up to community support. We then ask, how do you live?

A simple yet loaded question. Our individual life experiences can dictate how we respond to this question and even dictate if we are willing to ask it out loud in the presence of others.

The changes in our lives can invoke a range of emotions. Finding a way to live in a new reality and charting the unknown may bring feelings of unease. But how do you live through it? Threaded together through spoken word and physical connection, How Do You Live? explores the powerful forces that shape our lives from grief to joy, through individual and group movements.

This show is rooted in the belief that storytelling through dance is a way for us all to connect and heal through life’s changing tides if we can find the willingness to be seen.

In class, we love creating space for dancers to explore their artistry and in session 1 of our open progressive series, we had the best time exploring direction changes!

In class our goal is to create opportunities for dancers to dive deeper into their practice in a supportive and collaborative environment.

There are four more chances to join class with us this season, this time exploring turns! We hope you’ll join us!

Our final spring classes run Sundays, May 24, 31, June 7, 14 from 11-12:15 at Official Dance Project in Barrie! Class rate is $20

SCD is excited to announce two four-week progressive contemporary sessions coming up this Spring focusing on Direction Changes and Turns!

These classes will be led by Chrissy Baxter and Jaqui Brown. These sessions are progressive so attendance at all four weeks is recommended but not required. Pre-registration is not required and drop-ins are welcome.

Classes will consist of floor-work, centre practice, travelling work, and movement combinations. Classes are open to teens (14+) and adults and will be taught at an intermediate level. We will begin with a warm-up designed to bring everyone into collective movement. We will learn sequences of movement embracing direction changes and turns. Throughout each class we will work to open space in the body while strengthening alignment and the core muscles to hold the body together.

We believe that class is a place to come together as a community while also being a place to challenge the body and we hope you will join us!
