TEMPUS

Inspired by the novel Einstein’s Dreams by Alan Lightman,TEMPUS is a groundbreaking collaboration between The Sea to Sky Dance Collective and talented hard-of-hearing composer, Michael K.Hewitt, director of the newly formed Create-Able Arts Society, which supports artists with disabilities. TEMPUS marks the fourth production that Michael and the Collective have worked together on and will offer audiences an evocative journey through sound and motion unlike what they have created before.

TEMPUS intertwines original music and dynamic contemporary dance choreography to explore how humans experience time—through stillness, motion, and connection. Each chapter of Einstein’s Dreams is a glimpse into a different imagined world, with its own version of time, where it can flow slowly, race, loop endlessly, split or stand still. These are not scientific theories, but emotional truths—Explorations of how human lives are shaped by the nature of time.

Proceeds fromTempus will be donated to the Sea to Sky Hospice Society, whose work honours time in itsmost profound form—by accompanying individuals and families through life’s final transitions with grace, presence, and dignity. In a world where time behaves unpredictably—compassion, art, and connection remain constants.
