Award-winning Canadian contemporary dancer and choreographer Peggy Baker returns to perform in the galleries of the AGO, this time around with four stunning pieces performed by some of Toronto's most outstanding dancers. Performed simultaneously - and continuously - for 70 minutes, the four works will all be up and running, allowing visitors to wander freely between the galleries to discover the next dance, to take in the works one after the other. Close proximity to the dancers will provide a rare, intimate view of the performance, while a broader perspective will combine the dance with the impact of the visual art that surrounds it.
