MOCA Live: Contemporary x Dance x Fundraiser

Showings

Description

Experience MOCA Live, featuring a celebration of contemporary dance through the works of Peggy Baker and Cameron Fraser-Monroe. The fundraiser will run from 7:30–10 pm, featuring a cocktail reception and hors d’oeuvres, with the performances beginning at 8 pm. 


Presented thirty years after their debut, two historical works by renowned choreographer and dancer, Peggy Baker, are reinterpreted by a new generation of dancers, offering new expressions and meaning, while also reflecting on the continuities that remain across time and the human experience. 


Following the performance of Peggy’s works, guests will witness the debut of a new site-specific performance by choreographer and dancer, Cameron Fraser-Monroe. His unique choreographic vision, informed by an eclectic mix of hoop dance, Ukrainian dance, and ballet, will add a dynamic layer to the evening. Fraser-Monroe’s work reveals the fluidity and adaptability of dance as an art form, traversing various cultural and traditional landscapes.

Guests are also welcome to experience our triennial exhibition, Greater Toronto Art 2024, on view throughout the Museum during the evening.
