Written and curated by Brannavy Jeyasundaram, and co-published with Nova Dance, this book holds a moment in the life of a dance company and its artistic work during the global pandemic.

Choreographer Nova Bhattacharya had been poised to begin a 75-dancer work when the pandemic hit. Then, she had to reimagine what was at the heart of dance, of the notion of “company”, “ensemble”, a practice based in the body, bodies, multiplicity, proximity, and touch. Through a series of literary essays, this book delves into a key moment in Canada’s dance-making and the resilience of artists.

Those who attend the launches can purchase a copy of the book for only $20 (No tax. The regular price is $24.95)
