2026 Festival of New Dance: BOLT
Advertisement
Indigenous-led by Jeanette Kotowich (Nêhiyaw/Mêtis), BOLT is a co-written body of knowledge, a reclamation of artistic sovereignty forged through kinship and collaboration. Kinetic joy evolves from synchronicity, laughter, and risk-taking.
"A visceral negotiation of land and lineage, BOLT moves through us as a living archive – it exists deep in our subconscious, where ideas flow across the landscape, and past meets future."– Jeanette Kotowich
This interdisciplinary ensemble journey takes us into the unknown—visiting the liminal spaces at the horizon of our imaginations. We are confronted with desolate landscapes of fracture and extraction. Uncovering unity in dysfunction, BOLT's a radical act of productive instability that tells a story of universal interconnectedness.
