Birdy: Hung Dance (Taiwan)
Birdy is Hung Dance’s exhilarating call to the wild, where creatures of a feather move together and fracture apart. Featuring the Ling Zi headpiece, pheasant tail feathers from traditional Chinese opera symbolizing a warrior’s power, the work conjures a magpie-inspired vision, flashing moments of freedom against the cage of history. Drawing from martial arts, Peking opera, and cultural symbolism, the choreography transforms Taiwan’s political and historical complexity into a vivid contemporary dance language. Shifting from tenderness to ferocity, long feathers extend the body, at times weapon, at times whisper, while dancers flock, conform, and resist in a visceral meditation on identity, control, and the human desire for freedom.

Uncaged Soirée
A free public event inspired by Birdy
Let the evening take flight.
Presented alongside the November 13 performance of Birdy, the Uncaged Soirée is a free public gathering that invites the community into an atmospheric celebration of movement, sound, flight, and transformation.
Throughout the evening, the lobby will come alive with evocative bird sounds, curated activations, and live music, creating an immersive atmosphere that echoes the beauty, tension, and sense of freedom at the heart of Birdy. Guests are also invited to uncage their creativity and come dressed to inspire, adding their own sense of colour, character, and imagination to the evening.
Whether attending the performance or simply joining for the soirée, everyone is welcome to connect, linger, and experience the Centre in a new way.
The Uncaged Soirée offers an open invitation to gather, reflect, and celebrate the power of performance, community, and creative expression taking flight.

The Very Bad Christmas Carol
Past. Present. Future. One very bad Santa.
Sandy Claus used to be the face of Christmas. Now she would rather spend the holidays alone at The Last Stop Dive Bar. Bitter, burnt out and completely over Christmas, Sandy wants nothing to do with the season—or the people still trying to reach her.
But when three unexpected visitors arrive, Sandy is forced to confront the Christmases she left behind, the life continuing without her and the future she may be creating.
Inspired by the classic Christmas tale, The Very Bad Christmas Carol combines dance, storytelling, humour and heart in a fresh—and slightly inappropriate—holiday production.
Spencer Studios is a women-centred, 18+ dance studio in Chilliwack.
