Presented by Trail & District Arts Council as part of the Performing Arts Trail series, Red Sky’s "Trace" is created and produced by Red Sky Performance.
“We are traceable to the very beginnings of the universe, our ancestral origins stretching across the Milky Way to the atoms burning inside of us in the ‘here and now’ on earth. Trace is a highly kinetic contemporary dance work inspired by Indigenous (Anishinaabe) sky and star stories, offering a glimpse into our origin as well as our future evolution.”
The show was brought to life with direction/concept by Sandra Laronde, choreography by Jera Wolfe, music by Eliot Britton, visuals by Marcella Grimaux, lighting design by Alexis Bowles, and costume design by Kinoo Arcentales.
Winner of two Dora Mavor Moore Awards and nominated for four Dora Awards.
