About Broom Dance
Broom Dance is a shadow puppet show for winter and winter witches, a shadow song for the threshold, for the liminal lace between light and dark, between house and the howling wild. A luminous bow of song and cut paper to wild dark and to winter night.
We are currently developing this show. The first bones of it played at the Department of Illumination’s Firelight Lantern Festival, Picton 2022.
In 2023, we developed Broom Dance in a week-long residency at MAK Gallery, in partnership with Startup House in Gananoque, Ontario. In July, we played at the Chants de Vielles Festival in Saint-Antoine-Sur-Richelieu, QC.
In 2024, the show is being developed further in studio at the newly transformed Dirty Paws Living Lab, part of the emerging Maitland Tower complex on the banks of the St. Lawrence River.
Birdbone took Broom Dance on tour through Lyndhurst, Kingston, and Toronto in March and April 2024. For more tour dates in May, visit our Spring Tour page.
