Upcoming Events

In June 2022 (dates to be confirmed) the company is planning its first public presentation including the premiere of the film TANGLED, and live works that are currently in progress. This celebratory launch will feature Artistic Director Anastasia and Associate Artist Anna in performance on film and live. Moving Roots is honored to be rewarded with a grant from Canada Council for the Arts towards the new creation by Robin Poitras and Edward Poitras (that will be also premiered in the show), as well as towards supporting MR's first public presentation and creation of several new works. We invite you to help Moving Roots with a donation towards this first production and cheer on to the new beginnings.
