Red Sky’s Trace, is created and produced by Red Sky Performance and features seven dancers. “We are traceable to the very beginnings of the universe, our ancestral origins stretching across the Milky Way to the atoms burning inside of us in the ‘here and now’ on earth. Trace is a highly kinetic contemporary dance work inspired by Indigenous (Anishinaabe) sky and star stories, offering a glimpse into our origin as well as our future evolution.”

The show is created and produced by Red Sky Performance and was brought to life with direction/concept by Sandra Laronde, choreography by Jera Wolfe, music by Eliot Britton, visuals by Marcella Grimaux, lighting design by Alexis Bowles, and costume design by Kinoo Arcentales.
