the soft spaces

How does an island live in the body? the soft spaces is a multi-disciplinary solo dance theatre project that uses movement, video, music, and text to investigate where queerness and rural-ness intersect and thrive. The piece is based on Andrew Barrett’s experiences growing up queer on Salt Spring Island, BC. How do you say goodbye to the place that raised you? The project is currently in-development.
