a dance-theatre company that works between traditions and disciplines

Welcome to TomoeArts

We are in the process of shutting down after an amazing fifteen years of work.

Our works and records are being transferred to the archive at the
Nikkei National Museum & Cultural Centre You can also access a selection of out work archived on our YouTube page

Ongoing Nihon Buyō classes continue as TomoeKai Dance; contact tomoekaidance@gmail.com for information on current classes

For fifteen years, TomoeArts was a thriving creative community,
curated and led by Artistic Director Colleen Lanki.
This community brought together classical masterworks
and avant garde contemporary experiments. Hundreds of individuals
contributed to this creative and educational hub.

Our work continues in so many ways, and we are
especially grateful for The Dōjin Japanese Arts Society,
TomoeKai Dance, The Nikkei National Museum Archives, Visceral Visions,
and Vancouver Asian Canadian Theatre, who all continue to create,
educate, and experiment with the traditions
and arts we have loved.

Our journey continues, together.
