DanceHouse streams NEXT: New Dance in Development on December 15 at 4 pm
SHION SKYE Carter, Ralph Escamillan, Zahra Shahab, and All Bodies Dance Project artists romham pádraig gallacher and Lance Lim have spent the past two weeks creating work in an intensive residency.
Now, Vancouverites get the chance to see the results, as DanceHouse streams NEXT: New Dance in Development.
The project is a meeting of minds of DanceHouse with 149 Arts Society and the National Arts Centre, in an effort to support the dance community during COVID times. The artists shared development time in the state-of-the-art Fei and Milton Wong Experimental Theatre at SFU Goldcorp Centre for the Arts, with access to technicians and all technical gear on site.
In all, it’s a chance to get a sneak peek at the city’s next generation of contemporary dance artists, and see what they’ve been imagining behind closed doors.
Tickets are free, with the stream on view here.
