Andrew Bartee

A dance for lonely people

Illingworth Kerr Gallery, Calgary

Following on from the series of individual performances made at CAG during autumn-winter 2017, Ballet BC dancer, Andrew Bartee will present a performance that draws together this period of research examining gesture and movement with a particular interest in audience in consideration of permeability of the fourth wall as a conversation between art and each other.
