Silly Billy

Come on a journey celebrating the beauty of individuality in this unique show where First Nations traditions and western dance and theatre meet.

Silly Billy is a story about a rare white buffalo, unhappy with his uniqueness, who goes on a quest to find the magical Unicorn in the hopes of emulating this mythical creature. Through adventures, obstacles, misunderstandings and mishaps, Billy discovers his own self-worth, embraces his difference, and takes his place alongside the Unicorn as the legendary great white buffalo of the plains.

Infused with Indigenous hoop dancing, powwow dance vocabulary, theatre, music, song, and a broad vocabulary of western dance techniques, including ballet, jazz, contemporary, and hip hop, Silly Billy is a joyous journey of self-discovery. The Q&A includes learning about the cultural components of the work, as well as the unique elements of the dance and theatre forms used in the show.
