Description

Discover Dance is a FREE, all-ages, lunch hour series, where you will be introduced to some of Toronto’s incredible dance artists. Hosted by Nova Dance, Discover Dance is an hour filled with dance, discoveries, and connection. You will have the opportunity to see dance and share your thoughts; to hear stories and ask questions; and to discover how dance forms from near and far are being woven in Toronto’s cultural scene. Candace Kumar is a Filipino/Indo-Fijian dance artist based in Toronto. She has trained in ballet, contemporary, jazz-funk, hip hop, folk dance and more. She specializes in contemporizing cultural dance forms to reimagine traditional culture from the diaspora. Candace collaborates with musicians such as A La Una and Han Han as a performer and choreographer, creating Filipino-contemporary works. Some of her notable performances include the 2015 Pan Am and Parapan Am Games, Nuit Blanche, SummerWorks Festival, and international festivals in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Mexico, Alaska, and the Czech Republic. Candace has worked with Little Pear Garden Dance Company, Anandam Dance Theatre, Creativiva Entertainment, Hips Don't Lie Dance Company and more. She is presenting a short film this summer with Guelph Dance called "Crossing Waters." She shares her experience as a mixed-Asian Canadian artist in hopes of inspiring other POC artists to explore their relationship to their culture through dance. This will be her first Nova Dance process!
