Description of Sharing:
Erin Ball and Maxime Beauregard would like to invite people to experience what they have been exploring artistically during their time visiting the traditional territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.
Maxime, an autistic+ human, mesmerises audiences with a captivating blend of contemporary dance and drag artistry, infusing the performance with expressive movement and theatricality. Erin, a double below knee amputee, adds a distinctive perspective and physicality to zir artistic expressions, particularly within the realm of circus arts. Prepare to be enchanted by the sharing of both artists as they illuminate the stage with their talent, creativity, and unwavering advocacy. Join them in celebrating Disability and embracing a more inclusive artistic community.
Erin and Maxime's work strives to welcome as many people as possible and to offer as much accessibility as possible. The sharing will strive to be low vision friendly, to be a relaxed environment, and to connect with community.
