Checkmate

Inspired by chess, checkmate blends stage combat with contemporary dance, bringing these archetypal characters to life. With two possible endings, you never know who might will win!

Checkmate premiered at the Mississauga Waterfront Festival (2013), and has appeared at Guelph Dance Festival's Nooner Series, and at the Living Arts Centre's RBC Theatre for Canada Day in 2018.
