As gay marriage becomes legal in Canada, a man about to marry his male partner sets about devising their traditional First Dance. Through Ballroom dance and Theatre, his journey as a gay man is explored through the challenge of creating a dance for a ritual that has no history. First Dance will perform as a part of the IMPACT ’13 International Theatre festival in Kitchener this Fall! Click for Details!

First Dance

A riveting, deeply felt production that holds you in total thrall, First Dance is an emotional tango of tangled emotions, heartfelt passion and exquisite connections with first love, first sex and first understanding of who you are.

If you want to know what it feels to live inside a  heartbeat surrender to the dance, passion and final exultation of this touching piece of theatre.
