A dance that takes place in the aisles of a magazine archive, with publications dating from the 1930s to the early 2000s, mostly focused on business, news, and general interests. Humans define time as a linear, forward-moving motion, yet we are not always present with what is unfolding in front of us. Each year, each day, and each moment is a celebration and a mourning for the never return.

Juolin Lee is a Taiwanese-Canadian emerging dance artist who is fascinated by the transformative power of dance. She feels fortunate to live, learn and work on the unceded territories of the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh Nations. Juolin’s understandings of dance were shaped by her training in Modus Operandi Contemporary Dance program and influenced by her engagement with artists in the community that she greatly admires, such as Natalie TY Gan, Ziyian Kwan, Emmalena Fredriksson, Arash Khakpour, and Zahra Shahab. Through openness and curiosity, Juolin wishes to continuously unpack her idea of self and her relationship with the world.
李若麟，生於台灣彰化，從小喜歡跳舞，曾參加宜蘭的蘭陽舞團和湸泧舞團，十三歲時和媽媽越過太平洋來到加拿大，大溫地區的蘭禮藝術學校。
若麟在2021畢業於溫哥華的摩德斯當代舞訓練課程，很喜歡這裡的藝術環境、受到很多前輩的啟發，感恩於一路走來貴人為伴。
舞蹈對於若麟，是一扇自己和他人溝通的窗口，透過想像力和肢體的探索，舞蹈讓他更了解心中難以言說的情緒、抽象卻似寫實的幻象。
能把自己最喜歡的事當成職業生涯，真是非常幸福。
