“I had a dream one night. I dreamt I was underwater, sitting in a rocking chair.” -Aszure

Awáa explores the nature of the masculine and the feminine, the sharp and the curved, earth and water. Water is grounded in sensation, suggesting the womb, motherhood, and a sense of time slowing down. This powerful evening of dance draws audiences into a world that is spellbinding, exciting, and percussive. At times, it is funny and sad, and at others, hauntingly beautiful.

Aszure Barton & Artists is a collective of visual, sound, and performing artists, cohering in creative residencies in Canada and the United States to evoke the movement-based vision and free spirit of its founder.
