Rep keeps Astor Johnson’s artistic vision alive

The Astor Johnson Repertory Dance Theatre presented Branches at Queen’s Hall from Friday October 2, to Sunday, October 4.

Fondly known as “Rep”, the company blends dance and theatre in a unique hybrid form that resonates culturally and emotionally. Rooted in Caribbean traditions while embracing global influences, Rep focuses on multigenerational and inclusive participation, empowering artists to create work that reflects a collective identity.

This year, the company remounted one of Astor Johnson’s full-length pieces, Kyo, a work of artistic and rhythmic dance expression inspired by the natural elements of the universe: earth, wind, water and fire.
