Shorter performance of Sophie's new contemporary dance piece, called Whirrr, premiered on May 15th, 2025. Whirrr is a bold and interactive exploration of what happens when dancers, musicians, and the audience co-create something alive, raw, and real. This experimental performance blends contemporary dance, live music, and poetry to explore the tension and beauty between individuality and collectivity — asking how we can be truly ourselves while still belonging to something greater.
Choreographer: Sophie Barbarics
Dancers: Sophie Barbarics & the participants of the Nelson 6-week contemporary dance workshop
With original live music by: Jani Lakatos, Kristian Power, Lori Frederick, and Mitch Wilkey
