Mafa Dance Village and Tiger Princess Dance Projects
2026-02-02 19:30 - 21:00
ft. Sam Nabi and Bboy NLiteN of KW Breakers

Presented by Dance @ The Registry, in partnership with the IBPOC Artists Touring Network: From Words to Action

Mafa Dance Village operates within a diasporic framework, rooted in South African cultural heritage and grounded in the artistic ecology of Toronto. The work draws from African spiritual traditions and contemporary dance practices, resonating with African, Afro-Caribbean, and Indigenous communities through themes of healing, ancestry, and embodied knowledge.

All that is between is a contemporary dance work that explores how we exist together — and apart. Through powerful, wordless storytelling, six performers reveal the subtle ways bodies hold memory, connection, longing, and isolation. Created by choreographer Yvonne Ng (tiger princess dance projects), the work invites audiences into an intimate, poetic world where movement becomes its own language.

Featuring performers Morgyn Aronyk-Schell, Johanna Bergfelt, Amelia Brown, Charlotte Cain, and Sierra Chin Sawdy

Original music by Nick Storring • Lighting design by Arun Srinivasan

Ideal for audiences who enjoy contemporary dance, thoughtful performance, and visually poetic storytelling.

About the ArtistYvonne Ng | 黄碧琬 (B.F.A., M.A.) is a Singapore-born, Peranakan Chinese choreographer and the founder and artistic director of princess productions, home to tiger princess dance projects and the biennial dance: made in canada / fait au canada Festival. Trailer Photo by Marlowe Porter.

Sam Nabi is a hip-hop MC who leans into poetic curiosity, vulnerability, improvisation and risk. Whether probing universal questions or the inner workings of his own mind, Sam seeks to reflect deeply while making space to move your body.

Bboy NLiteN is a breaker from KW. He has been breaking for several years. He is the co-founder of the crew “KW Breakers”, “KWB” for short. Together with his crew, he travels all over Ontario competing in breaking jams, performing in shows, engaging in community events, hosting breaking workshops, and much more.

Jimmy's Hall film screening
2026-03-11 19:30 - 21:30 | The Registry Theatre, 122 Frederick Street, Kitchener, ON, N2H 2L9, Canada
IRISH REAL LIFE FESTIVAL

In 1932, Jimmy Gralton is back home in the Irish countryside after 10 years of forced exile in the USA. Everyone is happy except Father Sheridan, the village squire, and Dennis O’Keefe, the chief of the fascists. The reason is simple: Jimmy is a socialist activist. So when the “intruder” reopens the village hall, thus enabling the villagers to gather to sing, dance, paint, study, or box, they will use every means possible to get rid of Jimmy and his “dangerous” hall. Based on a true story.
