tiger princess dance projects/Yvonne Ng
present

Two heart-stopping new works choreographed by award-winner Yvonne Ng explore identity and its fluidity, depending on the roles and relationships that surround and involve us. Attraction and repulsion, magnetism and resistance both shape us and shape how we are perceived.

“She may be only 4-foot-10, but in the local dance world Dora Award winner Yvonne Ng (Artistic Director of tiger princess dance projects) is a giant. One of the city’s most expressive and intense dancers (is there any choreographer in the city who hasn’t used her?)” – NOW magazine.

Yvonne Ng
Yvonne is an exciting, instinctive choreographer whose work, inevitably braids her South East Asian heritage and her adopted Canadian culture, has been performed across Canada and internationally.

Yvonne is also the Artistic Director of Series 8:08 (since 1994) and the curator and presenter of dance: made in canada/fait au canada Festival (since 2001), both of which produce the work of choreographers from across Canada.

“My work is movement based and takes my body as the subject and a starting place, drawing from the closest experience of matter that I will ever have – the insides of myself – the interior landscapes of the self.” – Yvonne Ng

Parody of the "This is fine" dog in a room on fire meme, earth sits in an on-fire room with a cocktail and says "This is not fine".

“Hope is a verb, it requires action, and the action comes from a belief that those actions matter. Meanwhile despair, hope’s opposite, is the enemy of action. Why take action when nothing we do matters anyway?” — Prompt from our September Community Gathering “…And yet these moments are the portals to other worlds. Just worlds....
