HEARTBEATS: Signature Programme 2

If you think you know street dance, think again. *HEARTBEATS: Signature Programme 2* arrives at the Bluma Appel Theatre in the St. Lawrence Centre for the Arts, offering an electrifying showcase where street dance becomes a powerful vehicle for narrative. Co-curated by Kwasi Obeng-Adjei and Robert Binet, this programme features breathtaking performances by the Liam Francis Dance Company, Kwasi Obeng-Adjai & Ambrose Tjark, and Compagnie KH.

What to Expect Spanning influences from African traditions, contemporary dance, and cinematic tropes (including an action-packed dance heist), international artists from Canada, Nigeria, the UK, and France hit the stage. The choreographies dive headfirst into universal human quests: finding intimacy and belonging, fighting for fairness, and experiencing the pure freedom of movement. Expect high energy, incredible athleticism, and moments of genuine humour and emotional depth. *(Note: This production features the use of theatrical haze.)*

Making a Night of It Located at 27 Front Street East, the Bluma Appel Theatre is right in the heart of Old Toronto's historic district. It's an ideal excuse to enjoy dinner in the St. Lawrence Market neighbourhood before taking in a world-class evening of contemporary movement.
