SUMMARY:The Dance Centre presents Daina Ashbee: We learned a lot at our own funeral
DESCRIPTION:The Dance Centre presents the internationally acclaimed BC choreographer Daina Ashbee’s compelling new solo We learned a lot at our own funeral\, which examines the notion of death. \nPerformed by the Italian dancer Imara Bosco\, the choreography evokes a battle with the self: she challenges gravity\, resists the ground\, and overcomes precarious balances. Using movement\, breath and voice\, the work draws the audience – seated on all four sides of the stage – into a potent sense of ritual\, echoing the communal experience of a funeral rite. The atmospheric score incorporates sounds from nature and haunting vocalizations. \nWe learned a lot at our own funeral is a profound meditation on the strength and fragility of the body.

SUMMARY:The Polygon Gallery: Tranquility of Communion
DESCRIPTION:The Polygon Gallery presents Tranquility of Communion\, a landmark exhibition of the late British-Nigerian photographer Rotimi Fani-Kayode’s work\, running from Feb. 28 to May 25\, 2025. This Canadian premiere brings together Fani-Kayode’s celebrated photographs alongside archival prints and previously unseen works from his student years. Fani-Kayode’s images treat same-sex\, multiracial love with a spiritual intensity\, employing symbolic language to explore themes of identity\, sexuality\, and race. Born into a prominent Nigerian family that emigrated to London in the 1960s in search of political refuge\, Fani-Kayode channeled his multifaceted identity and outsider status into a bold photographic practice that made him a prominent figure in the Black British art scene. His work left an enduring influence on contemporary art despite a career that was tragically cut short by his death in 1989\, at the age of 34. \nAdmission to The Polygon Gallery is by donation\, courtesy of BMO Financial Group.
