How does an island live in the body?

'the soft spaces’ is an exercise in meditation and repetition, a journey toward precision, an exploration of queerness, self-image, masculinity and more - in the fragile pursuit of arriving somewhere softer.

Co-created by Andrew Barrett and Stewart Legere, ‘the soft spaces’ is a cross-continent collaboration inspired, in part, by Barrett’s experiences growing up queer on Salt Spring Island. This contemplative new work blends ritual, dance, music and text to investigate the places where queerness and rural-ness thrive, when hardness is fostered and grown, and how locations on a map can be carried around in the body. Can the places we are from provide clues for how we might get back to ourselves?
