Fluid Fest presents Silvering—a living archive of esteemed and storied figures within the Canadian dance community.

Celebrate the performances of outstanding artists who continue to move, question, experiment and take creative risks. These are not stories about slowing down—they are encounters with incredible artists whose practices have accumulated decades of experience while remaining restless, curious and gloriously becoming.

This year, Springboard is dedicating a significant part of Fluid Festival to exploring aging, artistry, embodiment, and the evolving relationship between the aging dancing body and creative practice. Through performances, workshops, community engagement, and conversations, Silvering brings together artists, older dancers, researchers, and audiences to consider how we value experience, longevity, and artistic expression across the lifespan.

Peggy Baker, Wen Wei Wang, Davida Monk and Barbara England demonstrate a profound understanding of the body as a site of memory, knowledge, transformation, and continued artistic possibility. Through their wealth of choreographic exploration, witness a dynamic conversation about aging and artistry.
