Project INK

(live performance)

Performed @ Fall Pique, September 27th, 2025, ODD Box, Arts Court, Ottawa, ON, Canada

Supporters: Ottawa Dance Directive & Artengine

Rachel Gray and Katherine Ng are Ottawa-based interdisciplinary artists collaborating on Project INK, an immersive performance that merges dance and live ink drawing. Developed during a residency with Artengine and Ottawa Dance Directive, the project explores the interplay between movement, memory, and the visual body—inviting audiences into a space where forms overlap, transform, and dissolve.
