Free Flow Dance is Saskatoon’s professional contemporary dance company. The performance showcases a riveting and atmospheric contemporary work by Artistic Director Jackie Latendresse, “The Atlas Figment” performed by dancers Kyle Syverson, Rachel Saufert and Miriam Edghill alongside an original score by local Battleford writer/composer Cliff Burns.

The Atlas Figment exists in a surrealist dream like state. You are invited to interpret the images and symbolism in a personal way as you would a dream upon awaking.

Free Flow Dance Theatre was founded in 1995 in Ontario and relocated to Saskatchewan where they have found a home in Saskatoon for the past 15 years. The company presents edgy new work alongside of their community based programming and is looking forward to performing in the Battlefords.

Cliff Burns has been a professional writer for over thirty years, with eleven full-length books and numerous magazine and anthology appearances to his credit. As well as an extensive body of written work, he has also created various visual pieces, short films, and occasionally turns his hand at concocting weird, spacey, electronic music. You can find out more by visiting his on-line blog, Beautiful Desolation.
