The Carnegie Dance Troupe & Karen Jamieson Dance


2016

About

Metamorphose, a 3 year collaboration with members of the Downtown Eastside community, investigates transformation, creation and imagination through dance.

Metamorphose explores the flow of life and healing and how we are changed by the gifts received and given through dancing together. We remember all the people we have danced with and all the beautiful creations we have created and performed.

Metamorphose grew out of the previous work entitled Here. Read more.
