S A L O P I C A, 8min., Canada
Directed by Serenella Sol, Callum McCormack
Amidst the vibrant colours and rhythmic beats of Venezuela, a young woman uncovers her passion for dance. But as she struggles to conform to society's rigid beauty standards, she embarks on a disorienting and tumultuous journey of self-discovery, leaving her country, culture and innocence in a violent and abrupt awakening.

THE SEED OF TIME, 5min., USA
Directed by Paula Nunez, Tiger Tao
A lapse of time has a before and after of the time in question. Everything has its beginning and end, nature’s order of time for all types of beings. But in truth, all life is impermanent, ever changing in constant motion, making the idea of now an illusion. But what of those things that do not move, the lifeless, the inanimate? The dancers will translate "the illusion of now" into reality, by breaking the routine with their dance, to be implanted in the spectator's memory.

THE MIGRANT BODY, 12min., USA
Directed by Paula Gil Higa, Cal Hopwood
This film examines human migration through the creative lens of PH Dance's Artistic Director, Paula Higa. Deriving from her personal experience as a dual citizen of Brazil and the United States, Higa researched various motives for individual displacement. People migrate for many reasons, from new life experiences to security, from demography to human rights, and from socio-economic grounds to climate change. Thus, this performance focuses on the meaning of self-discovery by uncovering physical geography, the gap between past and present, and the sense of not having a home. Dancemaker Paula Higa proposes a reflection on who is not a migrant in this world.
