IBPOC Artists’ Network Tour: From Words to Action 2025/2026—Sashar Zarif Dance Theatre and Coco Collective
Make your way to ImprovLab on March 26th for a double-bill presentation of spectacular live dance and music! Coco Collective and Sashar Zarif Dance Theatre will visit Guelph for one night only to perform at the ImprovLab.
Movement, voice, and percussion harmoniously come together for these individually and culturally expressive dance works.
“Calabash,” by Coco Collective, is a dance and live percussion journey exploring how African-diasporic communities cultivate everyday social bonds. This light-hearted narrative follows a woman’s labor of love in local food sovereignty and nurturing community connections.
In “Grandmother’s Drum,” by Sashar Zarif Dance Theatre, dance and voice fold into each other, becoming a single river of presence. Within its silence and its pulse, the past leans forward; the present opens; the body remembers what the mind forgets.
This performance is co-presented by IICSI, Guelph Dance, and the IBPOC Artists’ Network Tour, in collaboration with Wind in the Leaves Collective.
You can grab your tickets here!
