The Perfect Word is a dance installation that features ten dancers in successive six-minute solos; it was performed over 12 continuous hours for Nuit Blanche Toronto 2014. The dancers use movement, voice and projected image to describe the symbolic meaning of a single word in their mother tongues.
The installation was co-produced by Peggy Baker Dance Projects and Canada’s National Ballet School.
