With the launch of his most personal project to date, The Xone: Reverie to Reality (xone pronounced as /zōn/), Artin walks us through his very intimate journey over the last two years. With past projects, the solo dance artist has hesitated letting viewers experience a raw side of him. Artin describes The Xone as “a coming of age story”, reflecting struggles with mental health, family, and identity all while growing into his own, staying disciplined, and in The Xone.
As Artin continues to pave a lane of his own, the solo dance artists’ efforts have been recognized by his hometown, the Capital of Canada, Ottawa. The city has awarded the 4-part series with the Youth in Pilot Culture Grant, marking the first time a solo dance artist has been awarded this grant. |
