since then | Peggy Baker (Toronto)
feat. Jacqueline Ethier & Sarah Hopkin
"since then arose out of the retrospect of age. I have insights now that I wish I could share with my younger self. There are conversations about love, sexuality, loss, and old age that I would dearly love to have had with my late mother. There are truths about my life that I have never confided and need to find the courage to share and discuss. I offer this dance as an invitation for conversations among women." - Peggy Baker
