Premiered 18 October-20 October 2018 during Opening Door Dance Theatre-Avante, Artistic Director: LeeAnn Smith, at the Patti Stricken Harrison Theatre, San Marcos, Texas, USA.

WECreateSpaces explores site-specific dance filmed in an urban environment in tandem with live choreography presented on stage. The piece is the latest work by WECreate Productions and features the contributions of textile designer Robert Burton, Head of the Department of Design Innovation at Teesside University (UK). The footage captured in London and projected on multiple layered screens, accentuates the performers’ visceral reactions to the urban environment. WECreateSpaces is an experimental-multidisciplinary-innovative performance that blurs the lines between dance, video, music and textile art.
