Borealis Soulbör – ē – ah – lys • sōl
1. The essence, or spirit, of a particular quality pertaining to the North. 2. The gathering of Northern-based artists presenting multidisciplinary epics in the form of movement and music. 3. Performances developed by artists in the Yukon to share Northern stories, which blend disciplines of dance, such as hip hop, contemporary, & breaking, with live musical textures, layers, and rhythms. |
Borealis Soul’s work exists as an attempt to research and make sense of the complex realities of our world. We take a fully collaborative approach to creating raw, emotional, progressive works of art that dig deep and that encourage our audiences to do the same. Drawing inspiration from our unique experiences growing up in the Yukon, we create multidisciplinary productions with a northern twist. Our combination of live original music, singing, rapping, film, and highly physical dance sets us apart from other companies, aiming to add a new facet to Canada’s performing arts community.
