nowhen (noun) – “A point from which one has an unrestricted perspective in time.”

Seven paths, seven stories, converging in celebration of the thing that unites us: place. In nowhen, Alison Wong (York University Theatre and Canadian Stage MFA Candidate) invites guests to “let go of time, and revel in place”. 

nowhen is a two-part, auditory and nature based experience, with groups choosing to start  at one of seven entry points to High Park. Audiences gather to witness  a choreographed narrative adapted from stories of different perspectives, featured in Living Hyphen magazine,  eventually meeting at the park’s amphitheatre for a live performance, told through sound, movement, colour and language. The performance culminates in meditation, and celebration, of a deepened relationship to both the physical and temporal realms.
