From fabric to stage - a peek into Claudine Naganuma’s costume creation process.

Each costume is designed with care and intention to support and move with the dancers. After performances, they are hand washed and line-dried, ready to be stowed away for future dNaga projects ✨

A warm thank you to our entire production team - Joel, Dale, Elmira, Dominique, Exzavier, David, Shaunnah, Greg, Nailil, Solitaire, and Ian - for creating not only a moving and impactful show, but also making dNaga feel like a second family to everyone who is part of this community of artists. Each of you brings a unique gift that is truly irreplaceable in our work. 💚

A special thank you to Paul Dresher and Dominique Pelletey for providing this incredible space where we are able to create art throughout the year. dNaga’s home base. ❤️

Finally, none of this would come to fruition without the vision, dreams, and endless creativity of Claudine Naganuma. She has dedicated her life to offering art as a tool for healing to all who dance and work with her.

As many of the dNagaler dancers say, she is our Fairy Godmother for life. Our time with dNaga is what inspires us to keep dance an important part of our lives.

Thank you, Claudine, for all that you are and for everything you bring to our world. 💜
