Arts in the Parks: Walking the Kora

Inspired by the Tibetan practice of “kora”, a walk of reflection and meditation, Walking the Kora transforms the tradition into a walking performance. Guided by young people, audiences move through a natural landscape, coming across a series of short encounters and demonstrations that offer light, yet meaningful entry points into exploring concepts of emptiness, mindfulness and meditation, inviting audiences to reflect on how these concepts may resonate within everyday life. Toronto is home to one of the largest Tibetan populations outside of Asia, making it a meaningful place to share this centuries old tradition, led by the next generation of Tibetan youth.

This performance uses a wireless audio system, audiences receive personal headsets that deliver live sound throughout the walk, creating an intimate and immersive experience. Due to limited headset availability, advance registration is required. Please reserve your spot here: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/walking-the-kora-tickets-1990016644353
