The performers in this creative collaboration of emerging artists explore their interperative perspectives on the original and remixed versions of music that inspires them and is woven together by the dancers’ pursuit of collective expression. \nTheir inner connection to the dance equals their outward connection to each other\, and thereby their connection with you the audience. With the contrast of deeply felt high-energy musicality\, A Capella voicings and gently gliding soft-shoe pieces\, this suite will take your breath away! \nThe community portion of this show is a celebration of inspired young dancers from Western Canada and the extraordinary work they have achieved.

Time brings us to a reality that feels more like dystopia and we are left to question how we build\, learn\, grow\, tend\, dream and heal through such darkness. As Vines approaches its tenth anniversary we ask artists to consider fulfilling ways of being\, stories and ritual from the past as a means for building a present and future that is more habitable. We ask artists to share and challenge the lore of their lineages. We invite artists to sit in a Utopia outside of colonialism to question their morality\, our collective humanity\, what we will leave behind and who will have access to it. We call on artists to (re)imagine\, (re)generate\, (re)create our fifth earth through song\, dance\, poetry\, storytelling and visual arts. \nFull schedule and details.

For dancers\, leaving a stage that way is a kind of torture we put on ourselves. But it is also the sentiment that drives us to practice and pursue that perfect expression. \nSo\, what if they had another chance? What would they do differently and why? What happened? Was it external circumstances or was it internal? \nCome witness the insight into the hearts and minds of the long time professionals and virtuoso outliers\, with their stories of struggle\, perseverance and triumph from voices not typically heard. Then translated into the language that they express themselves with the loudest… Tap Dance. \nWith a live band (The Dean Thiessen Trio)\, hosted by Joel Hanna\, and danced with joyfully open hearts\, let us give you a wonderful night of incredible dance\, wonderful music\, stories and copious amounts of laughter. \nlet us dance for you.
