Confluence: Creative Exchange Cohort (CEC) is a national initiative that connects Asian Canadian dance artists through artistic exchange, professional development, and public engagement across Canada.
This season, Jasmine Liaw, Mohammad Dreza, Victor Tran (Savage), and Simran Sachar will travel to Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver, participating in residencies, public events, and conversations that spark new collaborations and strengthen connections with local communities.

Part One: Toronto is presented in collaboration with Toronto Dance Theatre and SummerWorks.
For our first event, join us for Dance Talks, featuring the Confluence artists alongside Hong Kong-based Collision Project artists Paula Wong, Chan Wai Lok, and Cheung Wai Yin.
Focused on honest exchange and artistic curiosity, Dance Talks invites artists, audiences, and the broader public into conversations that honour lived experience, artistic practice, and nuanced perspective.

Dance Talks brings together Asian diaspora dance artists for meaningful, in-depth conversations around the questions, ideas, and creative practices that shape their life and work. This conversation will be centering diasporic experiences and q***r belonging through ritual and performance.

Inspired by the “fishbowl” format, each conversation is an evolving space for shared insight, reflection, and exchange.

Dance Talks: Rituals of Q***r Belonging lives alongside DanceWorks: Sweet Ephemera, offering something deeper than a typical post-show talk, while also standing on its own as a dedicated space for conversation, connection, and collective care. 💫 Stay tuned for a full artist announcement.

April 19th 2-4PM
