Dance In Vancouver: Dumb Instrument Dance

Made In Voyage

A triad of solos that are odes to the performers’ grandmothers, featuring Ziyian Kwan, Shion Skye Carter, and Justin Calvadores. Each of these collaboratively created works counter historic erasure by highlighting the life stories of womxn of colour, portrayed through the memories of their grandchildren. The solos are at times delightfully anecdotal and at other times epic in their reveal of dramas related to diaspora, war and peace. Expect an undulating collage that reflects on nurturing and resilience.

Very limited capacity: up to 5 audience members per performance.

Tickets $30/$25 students, seniors, Dance Centre and CADA members.
