We are currently exploring alternative formats and future possibilities\, and we will share any relevant updates as soon as they become available. \nSince 2020\, two groups of artists in Toronto and Taipei have been deeply immersed in the Toronto/Taipei Interlink\, a long-term artistic exchange. Across diverse geographies and long distances\, they are practicing actions of reciprocity and connection; generating opportunities for embodied relational exchange and shared community experiences. \nIn 2025 the exchange expands to Vancouver and culminates in a two-day symposium\, presented in partnership between The Dance Centre and the Vancouver Art Gallery. The symposium brings together artists\, curators and producers to reflect on the evolving intersections of choreography\, cultural exchange and transnational collaboration\, with panels\, workshops and work-in-progress showings. \nPresenting artists include Michael Caldwell\, Wu-Kang Chen\, Caroline Chien-MacCaull\, Sammy Chien-MacCaull 簡上翔\, Wen Huang\, Andrea Nann\, Fangas Nayaw\, Heidi Strauss and 蘇品文 Su PinWen. \n  URL:https://thedancecentre.ca/event/tvtlink/ CATEGORIES:Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://thedancecentre.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Dance-Symposium-web-image-768x747.jpg.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Vancouver:20250906T124500 DTEND;TZID=America/Vancouver:20250906T170000 DTSTAMP:20260604T061609 CREATED:20250819T192451Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250819T192451Z UID:21665-1757162700-1757178000@thedancecentre.ca SUMMARY:Flamenco Fun 4 Kids DESCRIPTION:This is an interactive flamenco show\, where you can learn words in Spanish\, hand clapping rhythms\, and dance!

Through a series of activations placed in the “in-between spaces” of the community centre\, All Bodies Everywhere challenges pre-conceived ideas about who is a dancer and what contemporary dance looks like. The exhibition spotlights the beauty of diverse bodies and minds in movement and depicts innovative community dance shaped by commitment to inclusion and accessibility. \nWithin the photographed and illustrative series\, Move with Us in the Windows and Moments of Performance Banners\, All Bodies Everywhere showcases images from both public performances and behind the scenes moments. These images depict collective joy\, radiant energy\, and free expression. Through video projection\, memory embedded photographs\, and playful window displays; All Bodies Everywhere highlights embodied connections between diverse artists\, participants\, dancers\, and audiences.
