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 URL:https://thedancecentre.ca/event/zahra-shahab/ LOCATION:The Dance Centre\, 677 Davie Street\, Vancouver\, British Columbia\, V6B 2G6\, Canada CATEGORIES:Event,Studio Showing ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://thedancecentre.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Zahra-Shahab_thaw-Yvonne-Chew-sq.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20191114 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20191115 DTSTAMP:20260604T082114 CREATED:20190816T190857Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260111T061940Z UID:2200-1573689600-1573775999@thedancecentre.ca SUMMARY:Vancouver Tap Dance Society DESCRIPTION:Get set for a percussive extravaganza with this gathering of accomplished and entertaining dancers!
