About This Project

Rock Garden is an interactive installation featuring hand-crafted cushions inspired by the movements of shapeshifting within the life cycle of rocks. The work seeks to honour rocks as teachers for surrendering to transformation and to bring light to the relationship between resistance, rest and renewal. Through the integration of choreography and textile design, our rock garden aims to be a soft place to land that reminds audience members to slow down, release, and tend to their embodied needs.

We acknowledge the support of the Canada Council for the Arts, Dance West Network, and G&F Foundation.
