Synopsis

A stunning multi-disciplinary contemporary dance presentation from Indigenous choreographer Christine Friday. Christine says that Thunderbird Rising 2 is the transformative spirit of dance travelling through realms of existence – ancestors, dreams, blood memory and the land directly connected to her Anishinaabek way of living and being. In addition to live dance, the performance will include a documentary dance film that witnesses the Friday Family as they return to the site of their residential school and speak their truth on their traditional Family territory.

A Pay What You Want Performance

Pay What You Want is a new program for our 2022-23 Grand OnStage season. 3 unique professional performances can be attended by simply booking your free ticket online, by phone 613-530-2050 or in person at Kingston Grand Theatre 208 Princess St., Kingston ON K7L 1B2.  All we encourage is that you consider a voluntary payment upon exiting the theatre that reflects your experience that evening.
