In a medium so often centered on the depth and dazzling qualities of its sights, it's easy to overlook the sound of dance. And yet, all movement makes sound – if you know how to listen. We invite you to open your ears and take a trip inside the auditory world of two performers pushing the boundaries of percussive dance.

We traveled to New York and Michigan to chat with American dance artists Caleb Teicher and Nic Gareiss. You can see them perform in Heirloom - a new series of outdoor presentations by FFDN in collaborations with regional partners in Peterborough (Sept. 11), Hamilton (Sept. 16), and Niagara (Sept. 18).
