Expanse 2022
Generations
Expanse Festival is a movement arts festival that focuses on body-based work from a cross-section of artists. Expanse offers opportunity, inspiration, education, and community for artists and audiences who share a love and curiosity in physical performance.
This year, Expanse is celebrating generations and our relationships with those who have come before us and those who may follow in the paths tread before!
We are welcoming folks from the community to join us on this journey!
The festival has two main streams: a Performance Series of performance works by local, regional, national and international artists and the Expanse Community Outreach Program which encompasses a number of activities through which the festival interacts with the Edmonton Community at large.
Expanse was one of the founding festivals of The Chinook Series, a festival of small festivals that runs for 10 days, but now are excited to present a full 10-day festival!
Interested in joining us as an artist, volunteer, or sponsor?
