Down the Line was a co-production with Nostos Collectives Dance.

Through grief and anxiety we have the ability to get lost in our thoughts and forget that we are connected to a larger community. Down the Line studies that even though we may lose sight of our connections to these communities, they always exit, pulling us back to reality and a safe state of mind. There is a strong female energy in the work, focusing on the bonds that hold us together and teach us that there are some lessons we learn our time and some lessons that we will never be prepared for.  — Anastasia Wiebe

A young solo dancer is jumping straight up to the air. Her legs are squeezing together with feet pointed. Her arms are fully stretched downward, palms forward, tight against her body. Her back is arched, with her chest and gaze totally upward to the ceiling.
