Pillar of You – by Kéïta Fournier-Pelletier

Pillar of You explores the pillars – or central building blocks of who we are, with a focus around queer relationships of all kinds and how our queerness intersects with our personal experiences from childhood to today.

Kéïta Fournier-Pelletier is a queer, Métis, Franco-Manitoban artist based in Tkaronto. They are continuously discovering what these intersecting identities mean to them, and the role they play in their art as a dancer, choreographer and educator.

Calabash – by Coco Collective

A choreographed dance and live percussion journey exploring how African-diasporic communities cultivate everyday social bonds through a symbolic vessel: the calabash.

Coco Collective is a vibrant, multidisciplinary arts ensemble with a decade-long legacy of intergenerational collaboration. Rooted in African and Caribbean traditions, the group delivers culturally responsive performances and community-driven art projects that resonate deeply with diverse audiences. Led by dance artist-scholar Collette ‘Coco’ Murray, the ensemble blends African-indigenous percussion, West African and Caribbean folk dance, and storytelling to create immersive experiences.
