Hamlet, Prince of Denmark
with @cote_danse & @exmachina.ca
Performed by nine dancers, including Côté in the leading role, the production immerses the viewer into a metaphorical world of betrayal and trickery, one where ghosts and humans coexist. This virtuosic dance dramatization imparts an entirely new dimension to Hamlet’s melancholy and inner conflict, offering access to a wide range of audiences.

Thank you @orebrokommun for a wonderful workshop experience teaching a group of 50 Deaf and hearing participants.
Many people have never Signed, many people have never danced. I’m lucky to be able to share my experience of both and receive wonderful feedback.
I shared some “Microphone Controller” choreography where we tapped into Visual Rhythms of PULSE! Breath, heart beat, and hand beat!
TONIGHT! Another #MercuryRising by @jeftavandinther
THE MAN. THE MYTH. THE GARY. @garymalkowski
Bringing dad onstage was a highlight of the run for me at @citadelcie_
It was so special to have him in this show, to honor his legacy, and the MASSIVE influence he has had on me. I was so touched to have been able to perform this to audiences and families of Deaf, COD, Hoh, and hearing audiences, who were all able to relate to this story in different ways. I never knew. Thank you.
Thank you everyone who helped us sell out 3 out of 4 performances of “Microphone Controller” at the Citadel. Your waving hands, stomping feet, and loud voices were warm and powerful.
His documentary:
Gary Malkowski: A Deaf Legacy in Ontario will premiere on May 23!
