Rough Cuts – Autocorrect

RSVP now!

Choreographed by Vitor Freitas, Lee Ingram & Gracey Wynter
Directed by Kemi Craig.

Autocorrect is a body of choreographies performed by local dancers Vitor Freitas, Kennadie Friedlander, Luduvine, Elvis Eze and Lee Ingram with improvised and live accompaniment from cellist Jane and singer-songwriter Zoe-Blue Coates. Their choreographies draw from habitual movements submitted by the public during Kemi Craig’s tenure as City of Victoria artist-in-residence. This collection of daily gestures reflects how we adjust, adapt, accommodate, strive for perfection, and navigate the desire for safety. The work highlights the tension between the constant influx of societal norms and expectations, which shift suddenly and rapidly, and the ritualization of correction.

Part of the 2025 Dance Days Festival.

One of the highlights during Dance Days is the opportunity to see new works-in-progress (a.k.a. Rough Cuts) by some of the west coast’s hottest dance artists and choreographers. All performances are followed by informal discussions where the artists answer your questions about the work that they’re creating. Rough Cuts performances are free and accessible to the public, with a donation suggested. Learn more about Dance Days 2025 here!
