SUMMARY:Katria Phothong-McKinnon
DESCRIPTION:Impetus is an interdisciplinary installation that explores identity\, digital existence and cultural preservation through the meeting points of classical Thai dance\, Voguing\, w*acking and new media. At the heart of the work are two 16 x 16 x16 LED matrix cubes: one manufactured\, embodying a digital record of movement\, the other hand soldered\, symbolizing presence beyond what is seen and the hidden labour behind technology. Together\, they aim to reveal and explore how cultural and human experiences are fragmented\, mediated\, and constrained within digital and non digital systems. \nVisitors are welcome to drop in at any time and stay as long as they wish. The installation runs on a 10-minute loop. Capacity in the space is limited. Depending on attendance\, there may be a short wait. \nArtist Talk with Katria Phothong-McKinnon facilitated by Sophia Mai Wolfe Wednesday November 19 | 7.30-8.30pm.

SUMMARY:Company 605 + The Human Expression
DESCRIPTION:Vancouver’s Company 605 and Singapore’s The Human Expression (T.H.E) Dance Company join forces for a thrilling new international creation. Envisioned and choreographed by Anthea Seah (T.H.E) and Josh Martin (Company 605)\, Sloth Canon brings together performers and collaborators from both cities to seek out what it means to build and to break. \nA fragmented team of five is determined to “keep it together” as their bodies are propelled by unnatural momentum\, and their bubble of fantasy drifts towards the spike of reality. What happens when imagination exceeds capacity? When ambitions threaten to burst under their own weight? When the sin of slowness collides with the pressure to produce? Sloth Canon is hellbent on building forward – while simultaneously falling apart. \nPost-show artist talkback June 6. \nPROGRAM

SUMMARY:Y2Cali Kiki Ball
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the Y2Cali Kiki Ball\, where the glamour of Beverly Hills’s rich and famous meets the wild 2000s. Designer drama\, tabloid scandals\, and iconic pop culture moments defined a generation. It’s all about money\, fame\, and messy reality TV energy—red carpet arrivals\, paparazzi chases\, and juicy drama of Hollywood’s elite. From the sun-soaked beaches of Malibu to the velvet rope exclusivity of LA’s hottest clubs\, bring looks and attitude – rich\, reckless\, and ridiculously iconic. In the 2000s\, Southern California was not just about looking at the part but about playing the game.

SUMMARY:Gaurav Bhatti
DESCRIPTION:Working at the intersection of the North Indian classical form of Kathak and contemporary dance\, Gaurav Bhatti is known for virtuosic performances which encompass explosive energy\, dramatic complexity\, and eloquent emotion. His new solo is inspired by the life and poetry of the 18th-century Sufi mystic Bulleh Shah\, who spoke out against powerful institutions\, and advocated for tolerance at a time of violent religious strife. \nIntegrating Kathak\, Punjabi folk dances\, and Western movement forms\, Bhatti applies his distinctive contemporary sensibility to reassert Shah’s enduring message of universal love\, and pays homage to the rich artistic heritage of the Punjab. \nPost-show artist talkback March 29. \nPROGRAM

SUMMARY:Daina Ashbee
DESCRIPTION:Daina Ashbee’s radical works sit at the edge of dance and performance. Still only in her early thirties\, she has garnered major awards and critical acclaim\, and her bold\, utterly unique creations are shown all over the world. We learned a lot at our own funeral is a compelling new work which probes the notion of death. Enveloping the audience in a potent sense of ritual\, it evokes a battle with the self: the dancer challenges gravity\, resists the ground\, overcomes precarious balances. Finally\, only the echo of the body\, of its strength and fragility\, remains. \nPost-show artist talkback February 7. \nPROGRAM

SUMMARY:Petrikor Danse
DESCRIPTION:Hermit crabs don’t have shells.

Drawing inspiration from the resourceful adaptability of these enigmatic creatures\, Habitat presents a hypnotic meditation on resettlement and the search for home. \nDetails about online viewing here. \nPresented by PuSh International Performing Arts Festival\, Innerfish and Latincouver
