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.

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:A Surprised Body: Workshop with Francesco Scavetta
DESCRIPTION:Francesco Scavetta offers a personal approach to contemporary dance\, based on release technique and contact improvisation and influenced by his practice of Tai Chi Chuan\, that links a deep transformation of the body to delicate “poetics of movement”. \nA surprised body is in a constantly alerted state\, able to surprise itself\, escaping from a habitual daily body and any kind of routine. A body more focused on reacting\, than on acting. \nThroughout a structured score of exercises combining floor work\, hands-on exercises\, tai chi chuan and movement sequences\, the work focuses on centering and gravity; on awakening the internal and external supports\, while allowing isolation in the limbs and flow in the movement. The physical training aims at generating awareness and at creating occasions for discoveries.

SUMMARY:Action at a Distance/Vanessa Goodman
DESCRIPTION:Soft Currents is inspired by murmurations – enormous groups of starlings that swirl across the sky in shape-shifting clouds. This collaborative creation brings together 12 dance artists and a original light and sound score to explore the idea of collective responsibility. Working with headphones\, the artists respond to text co-authored by Goodman and the group that only they can hear. The audience experiences a performance full of spontaneous eruptions\, compositions and delights\, alternating between collective unison and individual focus. \nThis special DIV edition of Soft Currents will have a site-specific component\, moving through different spaces at Scotiabank Dance Centre and culminating in the theatre for a post-show social gathering with DJ Brady Marks. \nAccessibility: The work is built with accessibility in mind. There are multiple sites within the building where it can be viewed that are wheelchair-accessible and most have some limited seating for anyone that needs it. \nPROGRAM

SUMMARY:DIV Double Bill: FakeKnot + Ziyian Kwan/Odd Meridian
DESCRIPTION:A quick sketch of a garment\, a ‘croquis’ is often the first step towards bringing an idea into tangible reality. In Ralph Escamillan’s innovative solo\, the pencil is the body and the paper a modular canvas – dissecting the desire to imprint oneself into physical space. Central to the work is a garment constructed entirely out of paper\, inspired by the historic ball gown skirt which evokes celebration\, femininity and pomp\, as well as a type of confinement and mourning. \nCreated and performed by Ziyian Kwan\, Tendrils is the first in a series of works that that are odes to artists whose inspirational writings\, teachings\, and practices are living toolkits for survival and hope. Kwan brings her signature imagery and shape-shifting presence to a solo that relays and responds to her correspondence with the late Canadian dance icon Tedd Robinson\, performed alongside items from his creative archives that were gifted as part of 10 Gates Dancing’s Multiples Project. Tendrils is medicine for the healer in each of us. \nBook any two 8pm performances and save 20%. \nPROGRAM

SUMMARY:Company 605
DESCRIPTION:lossy is about an inability to take it all with us. The performers are bodies at a loss\, grasping for an anchor\, and haunted by the ghostly traces of lost futures. Shifting between bursts of intense fragmented movement and moments of stillness\, driven by the pulsating score\, they capture the essence of our uncertain times. This compelling work represents a warped ritual of transcendence – a carefree conjuring of a shiny new future ‘us’\, and a grieving for what the future may no longer hold\, once we finally arrive. \nBook any two 8pm performances and save 20%. \nPROGRAM

SUMMARY:Rebecca Margolick & Livona Ellis | Ne. Sans Opera & Dance
DESCRIPTION:Chutzpah! presents two dance World Premieres\, created by its artists in residence\, with the support of its community partner\, The Dance Centre. \nFortress\, the debut collaborative piece by Chutzpah! resident artists and festival favourites Rebecca Margolick and Livona Ellis\, the artists explore their connection to their ever-evolving relationship to femininity\, and the balance between their strength and vulnerability. Seeking both discomfort and safety\, they draw inspiration from the matriarchs in their lives\, building toward a deeper understanding of themselves. \nAbout Time continues Ne. Sans Opera & Dance’s Artistic Director Idan Cohen’s journey through Philip Glass’ solo piano etudes\, performed live by award-winning pianist Leslie Dala\, featuring dancers Will Jessup and Benjamin DeFaria. Glass’ music captures an abstraction sense of time\, telling a story without words through his minimalistic\, crystalline rhythms— timeless yet strikingly relevant.
