Through rigorous processes of imagination\, performers experiment with specific ways of meeting and being with the body. Inspired by the fundamental states of matter\, the movement explorations draw on scientific phenomena in the search of reaching an altered state of being. \nWATCH URL:https://thedancecentre.ca/event/jamie-robinson-and-avery-smith/ CATEGORIES:Online Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://thedancecentre.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/avery-1-sq.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Vancouver:20230310T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Vancouver:20230315T170000 DTSTAMP:20260604T074559 CREATED:20230214T183216Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260111T221355Z UID:15128-1678467600-1678899600@thedancecentre.ca SUMMARY:Alessandro Sciarroni DESCRIPTION:In Save the last dance for me\, Italian choreographer Alessandro Sciarroni works with dancers Gianmaria Borzillo and Giovanfrancesco Giannini on the steps of a Bolognese dance called Polka Chinata\, a courtship dance originally performed by men only and dating back to the early 1900s. Physically demanding\, almost acrobatic\, it requires that the dancers embrace each other and whirl\, as they bend their knees almost to the ground. \nThe work was created in collaboration with Giancarlo Stagni\, a Filuzziani dance master who revived this ancient tradition thanks to the rediscovery of some documentation videos dating back to the 1960s. Sciarroni discovered this dance in 2018 when it was practiced by only 5 people in total. The project consists of a performance by the two dancers\, and a series of workshops aimed at spreading and reviving this popular tradition in danger of extinction. \nFree Workshops URL:https://thedancecentre.ca/event/alessandro-sciarroni/ CATEGORIES:Performance ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://thedancecentre.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/03-Save-the-last-dance-for-me-©-Claudia-Borgia-Chiara-Bruschini-sq.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Vancouver:20230322T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Vancouver:20230325T203000 DTSTAMP:20260604T074559 CREATED:20230124T222938Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260111T221211Z UID:14957-1679515200-1679776200@thedancecentre.ca SUMMARY:Daina Ashbee DESCRIPTION:The first group piece by the prolific Daina Ashbee\, J’ai pleuré avec les chiens (TIME\, CREATION\, DESTRUCTION 2021) plunges into states of being with both sober and incisive precision. Far from any possible attempts at categorization or binary representation\, the naked and gaping bodies pierced by chants attempt to come closer together\, pile up in vanishing lines – before breaking apart. Connection then emerges\, in poetics of deflagration and trance\, while the sounds produced by the bodies generate movements\, growls\, yelps\, cries and calls. True flesh channels\, the performers transmit myriads of stories\, embodying a web of possibilities where everything can coexist. Because everything is transitory\, fleeting\, and forges a sensory experience where the sensitive configuration shapes a ritual of cohabitation and decompartmentalization. This work inspired by the density and complexity of human structure\, explores its entrails\, its thought processes\, its energy and its life force. \nPROGRAM URL:https://thedancecentre.ca/event/daina-ashbee-2023/ 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/2022/02/square.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Vancouver:20230327T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Vancouver:20230327T180000 DTSTAMP:20260604T074559 CREATED:20230127T201741Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260111T221232Z UID:14993-1679940000-1679940000@thedancecentre.ca SUMMARY:12 Minutes Max Studio Showing DESCRIPTION:12 Minutes Max aims to foster experimentation and the development of new dance works\, along with critical feedback and community dialogue.
