Performed By The Company

Originally created by Aszure Barton & Artists, BUSK was conceived at The Lobero Theatre in Santa Barbara during a residency hosted by Dianne Vapnek’s DANCEworks. The work was further developed in residency at The Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity. BUSK was made possible by generous support from DANCEworks, The Banff Centre for Arts, and the Ringling International Arts Festival, John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art in association with the Baryshnikov Arts Center. Additional support also provided by White Oak Conservation Center, the Howard Gilman Foundation, and The Canada Council for the Arts. BUSK, in its original form, is a full evening length work.
