Dreamwalker Dance presents Beside Each Other
Featuring Andrea Nann and Brendan Wyatt with original music and poetry by Gord Downie, visuals by Elysha Poirier, lighting and production design by David Duclos. Facilitated by dramaturge Guy Cools.

Downie released his debut book of poetry, and an accompanying solo album “Coke Machine Glow”, in 2001, followed by “Battle of the Nudes” in 2002. Beside Each Other is a contemporary dance performance that captures the intimacy of this work with a series of short duets.  Performed by Nann and Wyatt, Beside Each Other explores the private landscape between two lovers as they tread through deep intimacy, heartache, restlessness, separation and transcendence into a harmonious love. Beautifully articulate and complex, paired on the same landscape, one near the other, their balance creates wholeness.
