Presented by the Co.ERASGA EXchanges Program:
“We are pleased to announce accomplished director, dramaturge, writer and cultural animator Diane Roberts as EXchanges 2025 guest, in collaboration with Arrivals Personal Legacy. This workshop invites you into an exploration of your root cultural voice, rhythm and performance. Through this offering you will be invited to enter an embodied self-reflexive moment to engage your culturally storied bodies in a dynamic dance between self and other. Join Arrivals Legacy Project AD Diane Roberts, and Arrivals Alums and co-facilitators Lopa Sircar and Rosemary Georgeson, as they lead you through an embodied story-weaving process that explores ancestry as a jump-off point for creative expression.”
We’re very happy to be working with Alvin and Co.ERASGA!
Founded by choreographer and dancer Alvin Erasga Tolentino in 2000, Co.ERASGA has a distinguished international reputation with its vision of hybrid dance, diversity, and collaborations with other artistic practices and multimedia.
At the heart of Co.ERASGA is artistic director Alvin Erasga Tolentino, a Filipino-Canadian artist of remarkable commitment, talent, and energy, whose diverse cultural background and heritage has been a driving force for much of the company’s work. In addressing themes that reflect Tolentino’s individuality, global awareness, and ethnicity, Co.ERASGA exposes and explores issues of cultural identity, gender, redress, ancestry, hybridity, and promotes intersectionality and cross-cultural dialogue.
