Imago
Directed by former Cirque du Soleil artists, Imago is contemporary aerial-dance that explores the space between holding onto and letting go of another. It’s a gripping duet brought to life through cinematic original music, visceral floor-to-air choreography, and dreamlike visual design. Winner of the Isadora Award for Excellence in Choreography, Corporeal Imago’s work has been nominated for a Total Theatre Award in Physical and Visual Theatre and described as a “dark, quietly riveting gem of aerial drama” (The List).

Drift
Drift is the performance of a post-humanist world where the human form has dissolved into the backdrop of a landscape scarred by its own existence. Corporeal Imago inhabits the haunted aftermath of the anthropocene, where time and space are no longer defined by human agency. Through suspended bodies, cosmic noise, and a shifting atmospheric weave of effects, the work evokes the silent reign of non-human actors—planetary rhythms, ancestral whispers, and microbial will—that shape the world. In this altered ecology, bodies are mere echoes, drifting through the debris of an eternal flux.
Choreographer-Directors: Gabrielle Martin and Jeremiah Hughes

Drift is currently in development through the Artist in Residence program of The Dance Centre, with a premiere planned for spring 2026.
Throe
Throe explores our interdependence in the aftermath of our future disaster with a stunning intersection of aerial acrobatics, contemporary dance, and visual theatre. This new work features six powerful performers in a world of aerial ropes, as they cling to what remains in the throes of survival. While Throe depicts us at the mercy of our circumstances, it also highlights the resilience and hope in collectivity. It pushes the boundaries of aerial dance, blurring the space between floor and air to create a compellingly kinetic and visually arresting experience.

Throe was created in a 2021-22 residency at The Dance Centre (Vancouver, BC) and had its world premiere November 17-19, 2022 as part of the Global dance Connections series at The Dance Centre. It has since been presented at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts in 2023, and Chilliwack Cultural Centre, dance Immersion (Toronto), and Arts Revelstoke in 2024.
The project is made possible thanks to the support of the Canada Council for the Arts and the British Columbia Arts Council, with additional support from CircusWest Performing Arts Society.
