Site-specific LOT X transports seven performers and the audience through several locations in Toronto’s Harbourfront Centre Theatre and adjacent green spaces and structures, challenging ideas of intimacy, holding a magnifying glass to where we are, the land we are standing on, and the people we stand with. Perspective is created spatially, but also through the opportunity for the audience to decide how they engage with the experience. They move beyond the confines of the theatre on different paths, and return again at the end to a changed space having built a history of their own through the work, one that gives them more of a sense of ownership of where they are, and how they connect with the performers. LOT X is a co-presentation between DanceWorks and Harbourfront Centre Toronto, with support from the Canada Council for the Arts New Chapter program supported by The New Chapter program from the Canada Council for the Arts.
