The March edition of The Dance Centre’s popular Discover Dance! series features the vibrant young collective Immigrant Lessons. Using an exciting mashup of styles including street dance, hip hop, Dancehall, Afrobeat and more, they tell stories of first- and second-generation immigrants, navigating Canadian culture and facing questions of identity and belonging.
Immigrant Lessons is a dance/art collective created by Kevin Fraser and Alyssa Amarshi to promote cultural pluralism through dance, music, fashion, media, and visual design. The collective’s work explores themes such as sexual orientation and gender identity, feminism, racial discrimination, cultural erasure, masculinity and mental illness. Immigrant Lessons aims to create more opportunities for people of colour and marginalized communities in dance, stage performance, film, urban performance, concert dance, and community development.
