Our priority here at DSW is first and foremost the safety of our community. As a measure to ensure everyone's safety as the COVID-19 crisis continues here in Calgary, we have decided to postpone Linnea Swan's Made Up to premiere in 2021. [1/3]

[Dancers' Studio West @DancersStudioW]

The drafts and outtakes of Linnea's installation that we have previewed are simply gorgeous, and we cannot wait to share them with you when it is safer to do so. Good things come to those who wait! [2/3]
