The company’s debut will feature an evening of mixed repertoire from four international choreographers, each well-established and accomplished in their respective style. In an event heralding the burgeoning cultural scene on the West Coast, AUCompany is proud to announce its inaugural performance. The evening promises to be a rich tapestry of artistic expression, featuring a diverse collection of works from four distinguished international choreographers.

This collaboration is emblematic of the vibrancy taking root in the region's performing arts community, reflecting a flourishing environment that nurtures emerging talents.Vancouver Island and the Sunshine Coast are quickly becoming recognized as dynamic landscapes where the performing arts thrive and evolve.
