Out Innerspace

Directed by Tiffany Tregarthen and David Raymond, OIS creates genre-bending performances through inseparable dance and design. OIS works explore thresholds of cosmic and earthly, comedy and tragedy, chaos and order, to honour the buoyancy of the human spirit. A lawless approach to movement invention and “living” production design blurs the lines of form and formlessness. OIS has toured to over 15 countries with presentations including Julidans, Torino Danza, Colors Festival, Kalamata Festival, Theatre Freiburg, and Canada’s National Arts Centre, and enjoyed recent commissions with Ballet BC, Netherlands Dance Theatre, Hessisches Staatsballett, and Gibney Company.

OIS also supports community outreach in the form of workshops, community events, artistic residencies and sponsorships that celebrate all kinds of dance and people. Additionally, OIS leads the education initiative Modus Operandi that offers pivotal contemporary dance development for aspiring and emerging professionals.
