Hosted by Mi Young Kim Dance Company, this biannual festival is always built around a specific theme, with this year’s being ritual dances. The fest’s centrepiece is a performance by Buddhist monks from Seoul’s Bongwon Temple that blends dance, drumming and chanting in a treasured traditional Korean ritual called Young San Jae. Choreographers Denise Fujiwara, Peter Chin and Sashar Zarif all present works based on cere­mony and spirituality, while Mi Young Kim’s new piece, Shim Chung, has roots in a shamanistic rite that tells the story of a daughter’s devotion to her beloved father.—Paula Citron
