Newton Moraes Dance Theatre returns to the stage with “Life Under My Skin”, 25th Anniversary Celebration choreographed by Brazilian Canadian choreographer Newton Moraes, with a phenomenal cast premiering in Toronto, at Fleck Dance Theatre November 24th to 26th 2022
Life Under My Skin is an exploration of how artists deal with doubt, depression, worth and everything related how our body, image and inside of ourselves. Choreographed by renowned creator Newton Moraes, the piece examines what artists do to survive—taking on jobs and tasks that are far from the glamour of being artist, while posing the questions: Why do we do this? Why do we create art? Why do we dance? Created in collaboration with lighting designer Sharon DiGenova, composer Edgardo Moreno, and the performers, it is an imagistic tapestry of human expression, and bring together Toronto’s most talented dance artists.
