Artists in Motion

Black in Canada Dance Theatre Production is an episodic performance that uses dance, spoken word, and recorded archives to reinforce the powerful impact that Black people have had on the social and cultural fabric of our land. The show celebrates the strength of the black community, and how through all adversities, we still create art and culture that influences Canadian society. The work interprets the hurtful consequences of systemic racism and aims to educate the audience about the true histories and contemporary climate of hate speech and racial oppression within Canada.
