Inspired by chaos theory and complex mathematical equations, PAPILLON is an emotional, engulfing reflection on order and disorder, singularity and similarity, loneliness and togetherness, metamorphosis, and the importance of human connection. Performed over seventy times in Canada, Europe, and Africa, PAPILLON is a powerful performance that will have audiences dancing in their seats.

The Essence Experience is a dynamic class format rooted in W*acking, designed to help you uncover and express your unique essence. Through intentional movement, the foundational elements of Waacking are awakened—offering students a full spectrum of motion to explore, embody, and align with the rhythm of music.
The class includes focused drills in solo/group exercises aimed at deepening self-connection, enhancing body and spatial awareness, and developing character. The ultimate goal? Freedom, authenticity, and liberation through dance.
This is a high-energy experience that thrives on honesty, presence, and self-determination.
Requirements: A deep love for music—and unapologetically being a Punk.

Mile Zero Dance presents:
Confession Publique

CONFESSION PUBLIQUE
Confession Publique is an autobiographical solo that has never seen the light of day. Luckily, Angélique Willkie has rekindled interest in this artistic object previously consigned to obscurity. Confession Publique has now taken on the guise of an offering to her. This intimate dive into self-interrogation is now a two-person operation. From now on, Angélique is its muse, and it is her mysteries that form and structure what the work confides in us, a work where introspection has no choice but to come face-to-face with its inevitable opponent, confession.
In this work, we take on the themes of privacy and secrecy, delving into the marshy depths of the psyche in a revolt against the vulgar self-exposure that bombards us every day. We examine the nobility and elegance to be found in the ways we acknowledge our shortcomings, our flaws, and our manufacturing defects. We try to see confession as a poetic gesture, a necessity, a small concession to our vanity.
The protagonist concentrates on the margins as she takes a deep dive into herself and ourselves. The connection is intimate, intimidating. The performance becomes the setting for questions asked a thousand times over: our relationship to the world, how the environment holds our destinies in its hands, and the power others have to dictate and dominate our life-choices.
Amidst grand declarations and petty confessions, doubts and half-truths, the shadowy zones of the psyche confront reality and take on verbal form in words spectacular or trivial, meaningless or visionary. We immerse ourselves in a duel between intimacy and publicity. It’s through this crack that we observe our shortcomings, nurse our scars, and contemplate our faults. Because it’s in our flaws, our fractures, and our fissures that we are at our most authentic. And dance is the best way to glue all these pieces back together.
The show features the ghostly yet earthy musical presence of Frannie Holder and her electroacoustic soundscape. Their voices tinged with just a tad of nostalgia, Frannie and Angélique form a celestial combination that strangely conveys a biting message, imbued with the spirit of a nursery rhyme but breathing like a hymn.

East Side Dance Festival Teacher Training Conference
2026-01-22 09:00 - 2026-01-23 17:00 | Alberta
“Kicking Up a Fuss”
Dance as a Catylyst for Social Justice
This year’s conference theme is inspired by two powerful documentary films that explore the historic court case of Charles Daniels, a civil rights activist who was denied his theatre seat in 1914 simply for being Black. The case was brought against James A. Lougheed and W.B. Sherman, owner and manager of Calgary’s Sherman Grand Theatre.
We are honoured to welcome Cheryl Foggo—local historian, author, and filmmaker—who will present her documentary Kicking Up a Fuss: The Charles Daniels Story. Featuring original transcripts, archival images, and other primary sources, this film reminds us that Alberta’s history is shaped by often-overlooked, yet deeply inspiring heroes.
In the follow-up film, We Call Him Sir Charles, produced by the Grand Theatre, Calgary’s Poet Laureate Wakefield Brewster, and professional tap dancer Lisa La Touche offer personal reflections on Daniels’ legacy through spoken word and dance. Directed by Cheryl Foggo and with cinematography by Joel Varjassy, this moving tribute celebrates Charles Daniels’ courage and enduring impact.
Following the screenings, a panel discussion with all three artists will delve into their creative processes and explore how Alberta’s history continues to shape our collective identity.
We hope this year’s offerings—including the documentary screenings, keynote address, networking opportunities, and a diverse lineup of instructors and speakers—will energize your teaching practice, enrich your professional toolkit, and provide tangible, socially conscious resources to elevate your dance pedagogy.

GWDC’s training program includes ongoing weekly company classes, instructed by collective artists and local guest artists. These classes foster a sense of community for practicing professionals, something valued in a province that feels isolated from other artistic hubs in the country. The classes anchor the collective and allow the artists to discover common interests in terms of physicality and movement qualities. Classes are consistently attended by both professional artists and members of the broader arts community, meaning that this training benefits the talented and committed pool of professional dance artists in the community. GWDS instructors use body neutral, judgment-free terminology and do not teach gendered roles to participants.
