SUMMARY:CANCELLED Mary-Louise Albert
DESCRIPTION:These performances have been cancelled due to COVID-19 but a film will be streamed online December 3-17: details. \nTwo generations of Canadian contemporary dance artists come together in an evening of vibrant solo works helmed by Mary-Louise Albert. Having retired from performing twenty years ago following a distinguished career as a dancer\, Albert is reviving three solos she commissioned from leading Canadian choreographers\, for a new generation of outstanding female performers. Peter Bingham’s Woman Walking (away) will be danced by Livona Ellis; Tedd Robinson’s (oLOS) features Vanessa Goodman; and Allen Kaeja’s Trace Elements will be performed by Rebecca Margolick. Joyful\, yearning\, vivacious\, and dramatic\, these eclectic\, beautifully crafted solos encompass a world of emotions. Albert herself returns to the stage at the age of 65 for the premiere of Empreintes\, a new solo commissioned from Serge Bennathan; and to mark emerging choreographic voices\, Ellis and Margolick will also share two of their own short solos. \nThis inspiring and deeply personal project celebrates the equal creative fusion of dancer and choreographer and pays tribute to the enduring cycle of lives in dance\, and to the continuing evolution of choreography itself. \nPROGRAM

SUMMARY:Postponed: Lee Su-Feh: The Territory Between Us
DESCRIPTION:2 years ago\, I approached Bracken Hanuse Corlett to carve me a mask in response to the conversations between us. \nThese conversations were between two artists getting to know each other and touched on our relationship to this territory\, to art\, to traditions\, and to our families and loved ones. We talked of the mask as a representation of the territory between us: me\, an immigrant and him\, Indigenous to the west coast of Turtle Island (Wuikinuxv/ Klahoose). We talked of the mask as “The Territory Between Us”. \nMy sole task on receiving the mask was simply to submit to it\, to be guided by it. \nBracken and I\, along with Justine A Chambers\, acting as choreographic assistant\, will share some of our thoughts and outcomes of this process so far. \n– Lee Su-Feh \nBirmingham Studio

SUMMARY:Postponed: Joshua Beamish/ MOVETHECOMPANY
DESCRIPTION:A sharing of work in progress from a new solo that Kirsten Wicklund is creating for Joshua Beamish. The work explores the idea of isolation: how is being alone with oneself the same as feeling alone while with others? What is a person’s desire for home or belonging rooted in? Wicklund aims to research the idea of physical undoing where new layers are revealed or set on fire. \nStay tuned for a new date to be announced. \nBirmingham Studio

SUMMARY:Bill Coleman
DESCRIPTION:In Dollhouse\, Canadian contemporary dance master and choreographer Bill Coleman portrays a figure whose whole world is literally falling in around him. Inhabiting a cluttered room which collapses and breaks at his every touch\, he shares the stage with sound artist Gordon Monahan\, whose unique score accompanies the descent into theatrical disintegration. Coleman resembles a modern fakir\, as he suffers through painful yet comical situations on his way to sonic and visual chaos. Wildly original and virtually unclassifiable\, Dollhouse encompasses tap dancing\, performance art and sound installation\, using mechanical and electronic objects\, both handmade and found\, to deliver surprising and dazzling images and rhythms. \nPost-show talkback March 13

SUMMARY:Workshop with Bill Coleman
DESCRIPTION:Bill Coleman uses a methodology of movement that he has developed through his life as a dancer.  It is the accessing of an embodied cognitive state to explore movement and approach performance and technical practice\, allowing a more embodied connection to both movement and performance. This work aims for a heightened awareness of the senses that induces both physical control and a freedom of movement\, allowing participants to access new territories of physical exploration. It focuses on shutting down the clutter of images and thoughts from the brain and the desire to direct the large muscle groups of the body\, and instead focuses on the internal waves and more erratic movement that is present in us all the time. \nBirmingham Studio

SUMMARY:Dana Michel
DESCRIPTION:The audacious and original works of Montreal-based dance artist Dana Michel have earned international attention and prestigious awards including the Jardin d’Europe Award at ImPulsTanz (Vienna)\, and the Silver Lion for Innovation in Dance at the Venice Biennale. Michel breaks through conventions with her daring choreographies\, rejecting stereotypical physicality and identity\, and creating a liberated world of shape-shifting metamorphosis\, incorporating elements ranging from sculpture and comedy\, to psychology and social commentary. Her latest creation\, CUTLASS SPRING\, delves into the mystery of the sexual self\, exploring how cultural repression and her life as a performer\, a mother\, and a lover have shaped her sexual identity. \nPost-show talkback February 7

SUMMARY:Out Innerspace Dance Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Vancouver’s Out Innerspace Dance Theatre combines virtuosic\, hyper-detailed choreography with visual magic to make engaging dance works which reflect a time of rapid change\, of ever-shifting boundaries\, and of conflict and hope. Bygones is a new work created and performed by co-directors David Raymond and Tiffany Tregarthen in collaboration with dancers Renée Sigouin\, Elya Grant and David Harvey. It considers how we are shaped by what we have overcome: and how something challenging can lead to something beautiful. Innovative movement\, ghostly architecture\, and transformed objects immerse us in a haunting universe of pseudo-things and supernatural selves existing on the margins of form and formlessness. \nPost-show talkback December 12

SUMMARY:A Surprised Body: Francesco Scavetta
DESCRIPTION:A Surprised Body is a body in a state of constant alertness\, able to surprise itself and to escape from habit and any other routine: more focused on reacting than on acting\, on removing rather than doing. The goal is to let movement cross freely through the body\, helping the dancer to build their presence on stage. \nThe physical training aims at awakening awareness and creating occasions for discoveries\, concentrating on centering and gravity\, and using exercises and games to focus on attention and reaction. Investigations of movement and structured improvisations create conceptual\, physical and mental challenges; movement materials are transformed and de-structured in several ways. \nSunday November 24\, 10am-2pm (Kraul & Strate Studio)\nMonday November 25\, 11.30am-1pm (Birmingham Studio)\nTuesday November 26\, 10am-2pm (Faris Family Studio) \nEarly Bird Registration Deadline: November 12 \nRegistration Deadline: November 22\, 9am

SUMMARY:Raven Spirit Dance
DESCRIPTION:Gathering Light follows the journey of seed to flower\, beginning with the stirrings of consciousness to the full embrace of transformation. This luminous quartet choreographed by Artistic Director Michelle Olson delves into the impulses rooted in our bodies that travel through us to find the light\, while revealing the ceremonies that support our full bloom. Performed in the round\, the work creates a distinctive sense of ritual where transformation is an experience we share with the performers.

SUMMARY:Amber Funk Barton/the response.
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by personal travels and the universe\, Amber Funk Barton’s atmospheric solo VAST is an ode to the explorer that resides in all of us\, the traveler and the dreamer who wonders what resides beyond the edge. The choreography fuses seamlessly with lighting\, sound and set design to create an evocative meditation on our limitations as human beings\, and how despite these limitations we still desire to propel ourselves forward into unknown territory.

DESCRIPTION:Noam Gagnon’s latest work Pathways explores the intricate push and pull of relationships impacted by urban living. Ten extraordinary dancers draw on all their strength\, speed and agility to power through the explosive choreography\, striving to find moments of emotional connection amidst the visceral intensity.

SUMMARY:Zahra Shahab
DESCRIPTION:Collaborating with visual artist Katie Green and dance-artists Sophia Wolfe\, Eric Cheung\, and Juolin Lee\, this research is about merging choreography\, costume\, and set design\, to generate fantastical monsters in a continual state of flux. This work seeks to illustrate the idea from feminist metaphysics that identity is continually emergent out of interdependent relationships and the force-fields of a shifting space-time. Live transformation of costume and set create a world that is intentionally unstable and unpredictable\, bending open the false solidity of our social scripts. Our interest in fantasy stems from the room that it provides for non-normative expressions of identity such as gender\, queer desire\, and unexpected evolutions of form. We are drawing inspiration from the evolving identities of the poc dance-artists in the room\, as well as animated films.\nPhoto credit: Yvonne Chew
