SUMMARY:Gabby & Benjamin Kamino
DESCRIPTION:Plastic Orchid Factory hosts mother and son\, Gabby & Benjamin Kamino in the evocative duet\, m/Other. The dance is simple: together naked we touch each other and try to “not-feel”. The duration of the dance is the length of a symphony we listen to together. We hope the work stages many values and questions: The importance of time as a substance\, the value of an aged body on stage\, the psychic capability to hold and carry one another. At the very least this work is an opportunity for a mother and a son to give each other time and attention.

SUMMARY:Stephanie Lake Company
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Dance House Vancouver and Vancouver New Music. \nNine dancers\, nine drummers\, thunder unleashed. \nChanneling ancient rituals of catharsis\, Australia’s Stephanie Lake Company fuses different dance styles to create choreographic fission. A kind of performative ordnance\, explosive in its sheer power\, Manifesto takes inspiration from the primeval connection between drumming and dancing\, combining attack and rhythm\, chaos and order to create obliterating dynamism. \nIn this ‘tattoo to optimism’ musicians and dancers fuse their respective instruments to offer up a collective call for radical joy. Against the backdrop of a towering velvet curtain\, Manifesto sets loose a cacophonic wall of sound\, grounded in effort and soaring on human energy. Pairing performers into units\, the work ratchets up in intensity\, adding complex rhythms with choreographic phrases\, blurring the lines between cohesion and bedlam into a capering brand of wild rebellion. \nStephanie Lake’s ability to marshal a maelstrom is met by composer Robin Fox\, who channels the glittering energies of old time Hollywood extravaganzas. The result is a dance work you feel in your gut\, radiating out in lay lines of syncopated rhythm. Composed of heartbeats\, breath\, and percussive forces building to a cataclysmic crescendo it is a fusion of sound and fury\, signifying everything.
