The Dance Centre presents Dance//Novella
The Dance Centre’s Discover Dance! noon series features an exciting new dance theatre work by Dance//Novella. Founded by former Ballet BC artists Racheal Prince and Brandon Lee Alley, the company has quickly gained a reputation for bold and theatrical creations. Night is the Mother is inspired by dreams: it follows six characters as they band together and try to survive in a fantastical landscape of shifting realities. There will be an artist talkback after the show.
