The As­tor John­son Reper­to­ry Dance The­atre pre­sent­ed Branch­es at Queen’s Hall from Fri­day Oc­to­ber 2, to Sun­day, Oc­to­ber 4.

Fond­ly known as “Rep”, the com­pa­ny blends dance and the­atre in a unique hy­brid form that res­onates cul­tur­al­ly and emo­tion­al­ly. Root­ed in Caribbean tra­di­tions while em­brac­ing glob­al in­flu­ences, Rep fo­cus­es on multi­gen­er­a­tional and in­clu­sive par­tic­i­pa­tion, em­pow­er­ing artists to cre­ate work that re­flects a col­lec­tive iden­ti­ty.

This year, the com­pa­ny re­mount­ed one of As­tor John­son’s full-length pieces, Kyo, a work of artis­tic and rhyth­mic dance ex­pres­sion in­spired by the nat­ur­al el­e­ments of the uni­verse: earth, wind, wa­ter and fire.
