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 URL:https://thedancecentre.ca/event/company-605-the-human-expression/ LOCATION:The Dance Centre\, 677 Davie Street\, Vancouver\, British Columbia\, V6B 2G6\, Canada CATEGORIES:Performance ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://thedancecentre.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/THEx605_25Feb19669-sq.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Vancouver:20250606T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Vancouver:20250606T210000 DTSTAMP:20260604T063016 CREATED:20250523T215203Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250523T215203Z UID:20996-1749238200-1749243600@thedancecentre.ca SUMMARY:Dance in Surrey: Community Showing & Conversation DESCRIPTION:Dance West Network\, in collaboration with Surrey Civic Theatres\, presents a collection of performances from dance artists based in and/or having strong connections to Surrey.  Featuring: \nB’s Dancing Roses\nLinden Tsz Yin Choi\nRia Goel\nVidya Kotamraju\nThe Paul Tavai-Latta Polynesian Dancers & Co\nMia Pelayo (video)\nPuneet Singh\nplus a performance by Punit Singh who will also facilitate a public talkback with all of the artists.

Each commissioned choreographer was given the same inanimate object (a larger set piece\, welded by sculptor Alan Storey in 2010) and the same dancers. From Streetdance to Somatics and Ballet to Ballroom\, their diversity in age and life experiences bring profound questions to their improvisations. The three investigators are well known for mature work\, big ideas\, and a powerful knack for talking about dance. From each set of discussions and research has emerged a unique ecosystem containing philosophies of movement\, stillness and life. For the first time these perspectives are being presented together.
