In Carbon Movements, everything shakes: the stage, the air, your preconceptions. With a unique tactile and visual score, this is as much a multidisciplinary work as an interactive experience—one that challenges us to reflect on control, connection, and the quiet knowledge just beneath the surface.
Carbon Movements is the current premiere production of The Invisible Practice, an Indigenous-informed Deaf arts collective. This is a Deaf-centric dance-theatre piece that runs 1 hour long. With a custom-built modular stage and miniature models integrated into audience seating, as well as a small and highly experienced tour team, this show promises to immerse each body in a rich and visceral world.
To date, this has been performed in Edmonton and Calgary, with ongoing plans to travel across the country in 2026 and 2027.
