Candice has also developed a series of site-specific, improvised, durational pieces presented at events such as Lumière Cape Breton and the Festival of New Dance – St. John’s.
Throughout 2016/17 she has also presented her most recent stage pieces, couerPulse and Were You A Poem throughout Atlantic Canada.
