POSTPONED TO 2021-22 SEASON – BOX OFFICE WILL CONTACT TICKET HOLDERS

All abilities | 9-90 years

FluxDelux is a ​no-experience-required ​participatory performance event​ ​for people from ages​ 9 – 90+​. Participants on their feet or using a wheelchair or any other mobility device share in the creation of a spontaneous choreography guided by a tailor-made web app.

Movement scores created by choreographers Peggy Baker, Jera Wolfe and Jaz Fairy J provide a simple set of guidelines for people to follow and interpret in their own unique way. With a variety of scores in motion at any given moment; the work is open, multi-layered, ever-evolving and constantly recalibrating. Throughout ​FluxDelux​, participants navigate new and creative physical experiences that explore how we can all share space, hold space, and make space together. A gloriously eventful collective choreography arises through surprising, poetic, and empathetic encounters with others within the imperative of social distancing.

FluxDelux ​marries contemporary dance with cutting-edge new media technology designed by creative technologist ​Jacob Niedzwiecki​.

Movement instructions are delivered through earphones using our audio file OR a simple set of posted instructions. Anyone can join in.

FluxDelux ​was originally created with​ T​ angled Art + Disability and students from Rosedale Heights School of the Arts.
