The wind in the leaves collective engages in the choreographic creation of movement and poetic syncretism to develop and perform collaborative work involving diverse artistic disciplines. The collective’s approach provides for a unique view into a dialogue amongst artists on contemporary issues where each artist is able to collaborate, create and share, bringing her/his creativity to the collective’s work as an outlet for artistic exploration rarely seen in Toronto.

The wind in the leaves collective began in the spring of 2009 from a series of conversations between charles c. smith and several of the artists now in it. The collective engages in the choreographic creation of movement and poetic syncretism to develop and perform collaborative work involving diverse artistic disciplines. Our approach provides for a unique view into a dialogue amongst artists on contemporary issues where each collaborates, creates and shares, bringing her/his creativity to the collective’s work as an outlet for artistic exploration rarely seen in Toronto.
