Co-presented by Canadian Stage and DanceWorks
Created by Diana Lopez Soto
NOMADA blends aerial dance, installation art, and contemporary Mexican indigenous dance. Inspired by personal stories of displacement, dances and stories from the P’urepecha and Otomi nations of Michoacan, and the relationship between our bodies and the earth, NOMADA is a visually stunning and visceral experience.

Uarhi Creations is a centre for multi and inter-arts research, a generator of experiences, performances and offerings and an incubator of collective eco-initiatives. Uarhi Creations also serves as a conduit for sharing movement practices and alternative learning experiences. We integrate, support, and foster self-directed inquiries in sustainable practices through ritual, process-based work, and site-specificity. Artistic Director, Diana Lopez Soto, is committed to cultivating human and land relationships. She celebrates the reciprocity and restoration of our deep inherited connections to Mother Earth to reclaim ancestral wisdom.
