EMPTY PAGES / TOUCHX MUSIC VIDEO
Coming soon! The Empty Pages (TouchX) music video.
Thanks to Greg and Fran for making beautiful music together and instigating this project! Sometimes, concepts fuel a life time of work. First stop for this film was an icecave during a cozy February winter week. The next stop is Iceland in April to complete the imagery palette! The estimated launch of the music video is this fall - stay tuned!

RESISTANCE-142466
A bold reimagining of Resistance to be re-named 142466.
The original choreography toured North America for seven years from 2000 through 2007, opening the Harbourfront Theatre’s 2000 Season. The choreography travelled from Mexico to the USA and across Canada with great success. Exploring the power of human spirit in the face of oppression and fear during the Holocaust, Resistance-142466 personifies resiliency and courage: embodying an environment of reflection, danger and intimacy.
The piece examines the essential fibres of trust and caring, that bind us together, these fibres are the human strands woven to provide strength and empowerment within the community.
Kaeja d’Dance is planning to premiere 142466 in the 2026/2027 season.
