SUMMARY:Justine A. Chambers & Laurie Young
DESCRIPTION:One hundred more is urgently informed by our current socio-political climate\, which has produced a groundswell of bodies resisting and moving in collective anger\, captured and replayed in an endless torrent of images. Centred on an iconic gesture of resistance\, the work is an incremental choreography of personal physical strategies the artists deploy as women of colour and mothers. This first collaboration by Chambers and Young\, Canadian choreographers based in Vancouver and Berlin respectively\, creates a steadily mounting tension through rhythmic movements both archival and emergent. Set to a pulsating score\, this performance is a physical declaration of friendship and resistance. \nPost-show artist talkback October 13. \nPROGRAM \nSUBSCRIBE TO THE SERIES

SUMMARY:Jeanette Kotowich
DESCRIPTION:Originally from Treaty 4 territory Saskatchewan\, Jeanette Kotowich is an independent dance artist and choreographer of Nêhiyaw\, Métis and mixed settler ancestry. Her work reflects Nêhiyaw/Métis cosmology within the context of contemporary dance performance\, referencing protocol\, ritual\, our relationship to the natural and Spirit world\, and ancestral knowledge. Kisiskâciwan is a creative return to the swift-flowing landscape of Saskatchewan\, the robust undulating land of her grandmothers’ mothers and great-great-grandfathers. Conceived and performed by Kotowich in collaboration with Indigenous and non-Indigenous artists\, this solo work is a journey to one’s self. \nSUBSCRIBE TO THE SERIES

SUMMARY:CANCELLED: Daina Ashbee
DESCRIPTION:Daina Ashbee’s latest work unfolds like a ritual celebration dedicated to the body. In a minimalist landscape driven by cycles of change\, five dancers fluctuate between possibilities: from animal to human\, mundane to spiritual\, from pain and sorrow to ecstasy. Down on all fours\, they experience the elation of a new harmony and equilibrium but soon are flipped upside down\, eluding gravity\, and portraying a resurgence of the power to act in a community. Born in Nanaimo\, BC and of Métis and Dutch heritage\, Ashbee has earned international plaudits for her radical and unflinching work which examines the body through a powerful feminist lens. \nPROGRAM

SUMMARY:Calle Verde
DESCRIPTION:Flamenco is typically performed in casual spaces like bars and clubs\, in which production values such as lighting are not typically under the control of the artists. The theatricality of traditional flamenco stems from its emphasis on improvisation and spontaneous interactions between the performers. \nWorking with theatre technician Chengyan Boon during their DanceLab residency\, trio Calle Verde explores what happens when light becomes an integral fourth member of the group – a fourth presence. Focusing on experimentation\, play and process\, Calle Verde will share their learnings and present excerpts of work in progress.

DESCRIPTION:Designed to allow participants to familiarize themselves with the curiosities and priorities of Mélanie Demers\, this workshop is a true immersion in the MAYDAY universe.

SUMMARY:MAYDAY
DESCRIPTION:An award-winning choreographer and multidisciplinary artist based in Montreal\, Mélanie Demers dives into the political and the poetic with audacious works which fuse dance\, theatre\, literature and music with explosive effect. La Goddam Voie Lactée is her response to the harshness of the world: a pagan mass\, both celebration and challenge\, inspired by the constant mourning that marks our current age. Five charismatic women deploy their bodies\, voices and instruments in a series of visceral scenes full of raw physicality and emotion. Reflecting on the need for solidarity in the face of adversity\, this work is an exercise in self-imagination and creativity\, and a means of finding our bearings in this imperfect world. \nPROGRAM \nSeries subscriptions are no longer available for this show.

SUMMARY:Livona Ellis & Rebecca Margolick
DESCRIPTION:The explosive talents of two of BC’s brightest young female artists\, Livona Ellis and Rebecca Margolick\, are showcased in an evening of solos and the world premiere of their first collaboration\, a duet titled Fortress. Ellis performs her pensive solo Unmoved\, a deeply felt response to the idea of overcoming the limitations we place on ourselves. Margolick’s solo Bunker hums with energy\, drawing on themes of memory and the shared history of previous generations of women. The program also includes two solos revived last season specially for them: Peter Bingham’s 1997 Woman Walking (away)\, danced by Ellis with exquisite simplicity and focus; and Allen Kaeja’s Trace Elements (2000) performed by Margolick\, a passionate call to learn from the mistakes of our past. \nPROGRAM \nPhotos: Faviloa Perez\, courtesy of the artist and Chris Randle

SUMMARY:Restless Productions
DESCRIPTION:Restless Productions is in an early phase of research/creation for a new interdisciplinary work. \nTheir collaborative process involves sound/movement\, brown paper (and the sound and movement of brown paper)\, architecturally informed spatial design\, and digital projection. They are exploring contingency\, possibility\, and implication through several disciplines\, in an installation-like format. \nThrough researching what it is to create work for which the “product” and venue remain speculative—digital/live\, performance/installation\, gallery/theatre—scale\, medium\, and the relationships between disciplines take on new generative qualities. Dancers and musicians occupy a speculative world of half-formed and in flux (re)presentations. This lab is a hybrid space; fertile\, adaptive\, optimistic. \nRestless recognizes this opportunity as a gift and a privilege and is looking forward to sharing their lab space with you.

SUMMARY:Dance In Vancouver: Kelly McInnes + Mahaila Patterson-O’Brien
DESCRIPTION:In Blue Space\, Kelly McInnes explores our intrinsic connection to water – the water that makes up our bodies and the world we inhabit. Full of startling imagery\, this deeply-felt solo explores tensions between the healing and the exploitation involved in our relationship to earth\, and remembers what we’re made of. \nMahaila Patterson-O’Brien’s choreography revolves around form and abstract gestures through the use of unison\, repetition\, and complex patterns\, while projections and sound reveal softer internal worlds. Danced by Eowynn Enquist and Isak Enquist\, Mid-Light: A Translucent Memory is a score-based re-imagining of a piece initially made for film and stage – an attempt to grasp an idea that is endlessly shifting and dissolving into new forms. \nFull schedule of DIV events

SUMMARY:V’ni Dansi’s Louis Riel Métis Dancers
DESCRIPTION:The rhythms and images of the Métis spirit come alive through traditional and contemporary styles of Métis dance and music in Red River Special\, which combines the Red River Jig – the national dance of the Métis – with the Orange Blossom Special\, and square dances. Traditionally\, dancers would challenge themselves to perform up to 100 “fancy steps” during the Red River Jig and the company will build on that tradition with a crescendo of steps and “crooked” fiddle tunes. This joyful performance celebrates the best of the old and the new\, and is sure to get your toes tapping!
