Event Description

About Bag Dancing:

Bag Dancing is a touching, funny, and quietly powerful story about two unlikely companions on the margins of society. 

At the heart of the play is Imelda, an elderly homeless woman—sharp-witted, and full of unexpected grace—who moves through the world with all her possessions in plastic bags. Her past is heavy with survival, her spirit defiantly light. On her journey she meets Neville, the shy caretaker of a homeless shelter, withdrawn and haunted by his own history, especially his mother’s struggles with mental health. The two gradually forge a connection built on humour, trust, and tenderness. Her stories coax him out of his shell. His steady presence anchors her. Together, they find companionship in a world that often forgets people like them. Bag Dancing is a heartwarming celebration of resilience, memory, and the human capacity for joy, even in the most precarious of lives.
