And we are back! Artistic Director Martin Vallée held a socially-distanced meeting with company dancers - on-screen and in-person - this past weekend to discuss our upcoming season and prepare for their return to rehearsal. We have three new dance works in the creation phase, which we can't wait to premiere on stages in the next few months.

"Here's to strong women May we know them May we raise them May we be them"... Today, Kittiwake celebrates the achievement of women and girls everywhere #internationalwomensday #IWD2021

While company rehearsals are on pause right now, we are looking ahead to the time when we can bring our dance work to you once again.

In case you missed the production in October 2020! Very proud to have had three of our company members involved: Hannah Drover, Ava Clouston and Lily Dubrowski.
