Collaborators include composer John McLean, double bassist Michael-Owen Liston, and dancers Jennifer Dallas and Lucy Rupert. Lucy Rupert and Matthew Romantini have created Happy Endings are Still Endings, a duet for a couple of strange and imperfect souls who meet on an elevator. And guest artist Kyle Abraham, of Abraham in Motion based in New York City brings his acclaimed and gorgeous solo Inventing Pookie Jenkins for a Toronto debut.

UPRISING A BALLET DRAMATIZING EVENTS
OF THE WARSAW GHETTO
Excerpts performed by Ballet Espressivo
"Witness the battle between light and dark in this heart-wrenching ballet that tells the story of Mordecai Anielewicz, leader of the Jewish resistance fighters in the Warsaw Ghetto, how he led his guerrilla warriors and fought back against Nazi brutality at the cost of many lives and in the face of impossible odds. Stalked by the shadow of death at every turn, these warriors triumphed in spirit and inspired others. Uprising takes us into the world of human perversity and the highest heroism."

We encourage all of Toronto to come out and join us in Dance Day festivities.
