This year marks the third iteration of ROOTED Contemporary Dance here in Wakefield. Since 2014, ROOTED has provided a platform for local live dance. This year’s performance, entitled the idea of the north (created by Dennis Bass & Jordan Samonas) features live dancers and musicians from Wakefield & Ottawa. the idea of the north is based on a movement towards a state of wonder - a way of living and being characterized by self-awareness, instinctive  movement, connectivity and pleasure in effort. This year’s performance also features Something’s Laughing, a structured improvisation piece created by Owen Tuf and danced by the Wakefield Danse Collectif.

As a community-based initiative, ROOTED is devoted to expressing our local character through art and music. We cherish contributions from local dancers and musicians, willing to give themselves on-stage and in rehearsal. Your support is fundamental to this event’s existence.

Thank you for supporting the artists of ROOTED Contemporary Dance.
