Upcoming TO Live Audio Described Performances – BEND and A Charlie Brown Christmas

BEND

Saturday, December 6, 8:00 PM
Bluma Appel Theatre, St. Lawrence Centre for the Arts
60 minutes, no intermission

BEND is a glitch in the matrix. The brainchild of internationally acclaimed Canadian choreographer Aszure Barton and celebrated composer/trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire, this genre-defying fusion of concert and dance remixes classical with vogue, live improvisation with electronica, analog with digital. BEND explores the dialogue between dance and music, transforming the theatre into a thrilling alternate universe that’s as visually striking as it is emotionally raw. Cool, captivating, and impossible to forget, BEND is the must-see performance of the season, an experience that will have both dance and music fans talking for years to come.

Learn more about BEND on the TO Live website at https://tolive.com/Event-Details-Page/reference/Aszure-Barton-BEND-2025.
