Expanse 2024
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.
Body-based Stories Reframed.
The 2024 festival unfolds through two primary streams: the Mainstage Series features performance works by local, regional, national, and international artists, while the Expanse Community Outreach Program engages with the broader Edmonton community through various activities, including interactions with The Lobbyists.
Expanse Is A Celebration Of ALL Bodies.
We want to make sure that we are doing as much as we can to make a festival for all bodies to enjoy both on and off stage. Click here to find out more about Expanse’s accessibility offers.
