Performance + dance education
Director/Choreographer Madeleine Twyman
She of Ten Thousand Names- a meditation on womanhood today, was originally commissioned in 2024 by for a cast of five dancers.
Recently restaged at the Oakville Centre for the Performing Arts with ten dancers, the piece has grown in scale, energy, and power.
We can’t wait to see this work evolve and share it with audiences on international stages!

A duet shaped by the interior world of sisterhood —
a space where two women meet without performance or pretense.
Sisterhood as architecture.
Friendship as a mirror that reveals rather than distorts.
How extraordinary it is
to meet ourselves
in the eyes of another.
