Mayflies

finding magic in the everyday

Inspired by Al Pittman’s ‘Dance of the Mayflies’, each dance is at once here and gone again.

In 2023 we are delighted to offer lunchtime pop-up performances in partnership with Provincial Historic Sites featuring world-class musicians and movers.

No ticket is necessary. Bring a blanket, and your lunch if you like. Chairs and parking are available on-site.

Our digital Mayflies series will be released via Instagram and YouTube each weekday starting November 2023.
