Story Creatures  is a 7-hour durational installation, performed in one-hour shifts with a rotating cast. The environment includes a score of choreography interpreted by two dancers and created by coding word to gesture. The body translates a futuristic fable and tells of a new beginning after the worst has happened to our planet. The sound environment is an original composition that collages nature and machine while incorporating recordings of the spoken story in six languages. 

A Toronto premiere, Story Creatures is by Kate Hilliard in collaboration with Jeremy Mimnagh, Miyeko Ferguson, Sean Rees, Chris Malkowski, and many extraordinary Dance Artists.

Kate Hilliard creates through movement, digital media, writing, and conversation. Her performances closely examine themes of transformation, and her process invites collaboration. Kate is the Artistic Director of Arts Orillia in Ontario, Canada, where she programs residencies and festivals to invite learning and community gatherings. She is faculty at Toronto Metropolitan University, teaching dance and acting students in the areas of creation and production.
