Re-Zoning: Pigeon Breeders with Kate Stashko | Alicia Proudfoot – Perennial

Date: Friday, June 5, 2026 7:30 PM
Venue: Mile Zero Dance Space (9931 – 78 Avenue NW, Edmonton)

The 15th edition of Now Hear This kicks off with an exciting collaboration between two of Edmonton’s leading experimental artists: Pigeon Breeders (Myles Bartel and Will Scott) and dance artist Kate Stashko. Their new work, Re-Zoning, is a dynamic structured improvisation that transforms Stashko’s dance into a living expression pedal, guiding Pigeon Breeders—armed with a fascinating array of found objects and instruments—through her captivating movement language. The result is an electrifying journey that unfolds across the performance space, blurring the lines between sound and motion.

Perennial by Alicia Proudfoot is a performance of sound and sculpture. The engulfing heave of metal and pulp and fibre that grows out from my harp is chronic illness. The body is the thematic root of my art practice. A sick body, in my case an asthmatic body, creates friction with society’s mandates of idealized productivity, strength, and sustainable health.
