Paper Mountains is a new ensemble creation by the award-winning young choreographer Anya Saugstad. Inspired by nature and animals, the movement is drenched in vigorous and urgent physicality. Paper Mountains embodies the paradoxes of strength and lightness, urgency and yearning, toughness and softness, and surrender and resilience.
The 14th biennial Dance In Vancouver celebrates the energy and innovation of our contemporary dance scene: join us for five days of performances, studio showings and events, showcasing some of British Columbia’s most exciting companies and artists.
Presented through the Iris Garland Emerging Choreographer Award and as part of Dance In Vancouver 2024.
