ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE

The Shift is a mind-bending show that uses 4 life-size surround projection screens, live-feed video cameras, stunning musical performances and state-of-the-art body/camera rig technologies. The result is a 360° film and concert experience that invites you to move towards a shift in consciousness.

With musical performances featuring classical radicals, Music in the Barns Chamber Ensemble, Toronto's electronic-global soul duo LAL, and beatboxer extraordinaire Balu Ballistic, the concert experience lies where electro-acoustic classical meets electronic, hip hop and spoken word.

ABOUT THE FILMS

Exploring documentary, fiction, dance film and music video genres, these 4 short films by award-winning directors Joseph Johnson-Camí and Ayelen Liberona, star celebrated dance artist Margie Gillis in a powerful portrayal of a rebellion inspiring goddess. Stunning imagery shot with Walter Klassen’s body/camera rig technologies, allow Ms. Gillis to achieve mind bending perspectives through her choreography.

The films also feature champion beatboxer Balu Ballistic and spoken word artist True Daley, as they inspire a fearless group of teenagers to jam on the issues that deeply affect their lives - from racism to big pharma’s push to medicate their dissenting behaviours.

The final film, "Tiny Mirrors”, is a music video collaboration with the shape-shifting electronic music duo that is LAL as we re-imagine our perceptions of love, loss and change.
