Four close friends, East, South, West and North, play a game of mahjong before dinner. Tensions rise as they all discover they have unique ways of playing, skill levels with the game, and differing attitudes towards competition. How will they navigate personal differences and learn to play with one another?

Kristen Bailey (Canada) EMERGING

World Premiere

Duration: 6:00

In an often disconnected world, three dancers come together through the shared language of footwork. Rooted in African-diasporic street dance styles, Finding Flow explores the intersections of technical movement, culture, and self-expression. Each dancer’s journey unfolds as they move through a rich landscape of rhythm, technique, and expressive physicality—where footwork becomes a powerful tool for storytelling. While our feet carry us forward, we must not forget the footprints that remind us of where we've been.
