PERFORMANCE WORKS

BUOYANCY OF LIGHTA powerhouse quartet of interdisciplinary performer/dancer/actors took us on an ecstatic romp through their personal queer histories- through massive and miniscule moments and movements, from the studio to the street, from the gay club to the sky, and back into the studio.In this immersive collision of dance, theatre, party and film, Artistic Director Gerry Trentham, with performers Aria Evans, Calder White, Tia Kushniruk, and Michael Mortley uncover the urgency we all feel as we “lose the light”.

THE LUNATIC​​ Initial research began in a residency at the Armando Centre in Buenos Aires in January 2025 and returns this June 8th - 16th to begin a second round of residences.​​​As a seminal project in Trentham’s fifth decade as a queer performer and artist, The Lunatic draws inspiration from the third and final stage of life described by Jungian psychologist and art critic Graham Jackson as the evolution of the “youthful golden messenger” into the “lunatic” whose air-like invisibility is difficult to hear or see.

We move on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territory of the Anishinaabe, Haudenosaunee, Wendat (Huron-Wendat), Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and the Métis Nation.

We honor the ancestral homelands of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, which includes the Mohawk (Kanien’kehá:ka), Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, Seneca, and Tuscarora Nations. We also acknowledge the Shinnecock, Munsee Lenape, and other Indigenous peoples who foster deep connections to the land and water.

We acknowledge the ancestral lands of the Querandíes, Puelches, Guaraní, and other Indigenous groups of the Pampas.

The lands and watersheds we share today—including the Great Lakes, St. Lawrence River, Hudson River, Finger Lakes, Paraná River, and Río de la Plata—are imbued with deep spiritual, cultural, and environmental significance to these nations. 

We acknowledge the ongoing consequences of colonization that disproportionately harm Indigenous, queer, trans and Two-Spirit people. We express our respect and gratitude to the Indigenous peoples in our company and communities who continue to protect these lands, waters, and ecosystems, and who bear the burden of history today. We are grateful to live, work, and learn on this land.
