Mayflies Performance Series

finding magic in the everyday

Mayflies is Untellable Movement Theatre’s anchor program. Inspired by Al Pittman’s “Dance of the Mayflies,” each dance is a fleeting moment of beauty, here one instant and gone the next.

Complementing Mayflies Digital, Mayflies Performance Series offers free pop-up performances for the general public, bringing barrier-free, world-class artistry to all.

In 2024 we are delighted to offer lunchtime pop-up performances in partnership with Provincial Historic Sites featuring Keely Whitelaw and Greg Bruce, Lynn Panting Dance, and the Ballast Collective.

No tickets needed! Bring a blanket and your lunch if you wish.

Limited chairs and parking available on-site.

Our Digital Mayflies series, celebrating 100 digital dances, will be released on Instagram and YouTube every weekday starting November 2024.
