Together/Apart is an online dance project featuring a collection of duets that Co.ERASGA is programming as part of our 2021 season and to celebrate BC Culture Days. The project is an initiative to reach out to independent dance artists locally, nationally, and internationally in this time of the pandemic to support and celebrate dancers’ resilience as an avenue for dance to continue.

Central to the project is digital experimentation, exploring curiosities with the assistance of technology as artists pivot to be creative in the newly digital age since the height of the pandemic. We honor the living practice of dance as the main impetus of the project and the digital technology to observe, help and tell our stories, creativities and dances in an unprecedented time that we are journeying together globally.

This pre-recorded collection will be available to view throughout BC Culture Days for free/by donation from September 25th to October 9th. View with your bubble at home, and engage with other viewers through the chat function! Join us for the premiere on September 25th.

A video series with the cast of Offering, where they share how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected and changed their artistic practice. Filmed during the creation process of Offering, summer to fall 2020.
