The Lime Project Dance Company's new site specific contemporary dance created for Winnipeg’s Union Station: a r r i v a l s & d e p a r t u r e s

Choreographed by Nina Patel with music composed by Joel Klaverkamp, the dancers - Rachelle Bourget, Carol-Ann Bohrn, Branwyn Bundon and Alexandra Scarola - are tested to their limits.
Set to an original score, this is a turbulent mix of dance, music and visual theatre and exists in a world inspired by the ghosts of Union Station.

It is based on a desire to examine how dance can communicate a site’s historical, emotional and social context to an audience.  Moments in life that have passed through the station resonate in a significant way.
The audience will be free to move through the rotunda during the dance.
