Minori/Fulfillment in Life

Description:

This joint exhibition between Centre A and Western Front presented two Asian artists in experimental collaboration. An enchanting and striking glass installation by Japanese-Canadian glass artist, Miyuki Shinkai served as the setting for an electrifying solo dance performance by Filipino-Canadian choreographer and dancer Alvin Erasga Tolentino. They used and interwove heritage, gender issues, language, ethnicity, struggle, loss, hope, and celebration as the physical and emotional structures of their work. Minori delivered an original visual and physical expression, fresh to the senses and close to the heart. 

An exhibition opening took place May 15 at Centre A. Performances occurred May 22 to 26.
