The Seeking Resonance Series offers opportunities for us all to explore the vibrational quality of connecting with a place or space, each other and ourselves.
Each season, we curate a collection of thematically linked performances and Ovations Offstage events, so that audiences can experience a connection with artists and artforms spanning a variety of genres and cultures.
2022-23 Seeking Resonance Series: Legacy
Past Seasons
2022-23 Seeking Resonance Events
From stories of migration to diasporic art forms, we travelled the world with the many Black, Brown and Indigenous peoples, cultures and artistic expressions that make up our global community. Together, we explored our deep need to find “home:” a space and place that makes us feel whole – where we feel joyful, safe, valued and loved.
