Totema Dance, led by choreographer Tabata Vara, Totema moves the body into a site of embodied inquiry, exploring silenced histories, inherited trauma, and the resilience of human connection. Through immersive works grounded in research and ritual, we create spaces where movement becomes language, memory becomes movement, and audiences become witnesses.
