It is inspired by the significance of symbols in Indian philosophy\, using the precise grammar and lines of Bharatanatyam to depict a sacred geometry. Performed by eight dancers including Vaidyanathan\, this is an unmissable opportunity to experience the work of one of the most celebrated Bharatanatyam dancers of her generation. \n“Symbols hold a tremendous significance in Indian philosophy and many of them have become indelible tenets of knowledge and awakening. They appear to be the simplest\, but are potent with layers of possibilities. This work explores the significance of the square\, the circle and the triangle\, integrating them with ancient literature that use them as mediums to delineate spiritual concepts. Bharatanatyam as a dance form too with its precise grammar and lines\, lends it self perfectly well to depicting these sacred geometric angles and shapes.” – Rama Vaidyanathan \nPresented by Mandala Arts and Culture in partnership with The Dance Centre URL:https://thedancecentre.ca/event/rama-vaidyanathan-ensemble/ CATEGORIES:Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://thedancecentre.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/8.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Vancouver:20211118T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Vancouver:20211118T130000 DTSTAMP:20260604T080001 CREATED:20210907T180126Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260111T213939Z UID:10346-1637236800-1637240400@thedancecentre.ca SUMMARY:V’ni Dansi’s Louis Riel Métis Dancers DESCRIPTION:The rhythms and images of the Métis spirit come alive through traditional and contemporary styles of Métis dance and music in Red River Special\, which combines the Red River Jig – the national dance of the Métis – with the Orange Blossom Special\, and square dances. Traditionally\, dancers would challenge themselves to perform up to 100 “fancy steps” during the Red River Jig and the company will build on that tradition with a crescendo of steps and “crooked” fiddle tunes. This joyful performance celebrates the best of the old and the new\, and is sure to get your toes tapping!

Full of startling imagery\, this deeply-felt solo explores tensions between the healing and the exploitation involved in our relationship to earth\, and remembers what we’re made of. \nMahaila Patterson-O’Brien’s choreography revolves around form and abstract gestures through the use of unison\, repetition\, and complex patterns\, while projections and sound reveal softer internal worlds. Danced by Eowynn Enquist and Isak Enquist\, Mid-Light: A Translucent Memory is a score-based re-imagining of a piece initially made for film and stage – an attempt to grasp an idea that is endlessly shifting and dissolving into new forms. \nFull schedule of DIV events URL:https://thedancecentre.ca/event/dance-in-vancouver-double-bill-kelly-mcinnes-mahaila-patterson-obrien/ 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/2021/09/Kelly-McInnes-photo-Sophia-Wolfe-sq-e1634067218923.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Vancouver:20211127T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Vancouver:20211127T210000 DTSTAMP:20260604T080001 CREATED:20211008T191031Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260111T214325Z UID:10827-1638043200-1638046800@thedancecentre.ca SUMMARY:Dance In Vancouver: Tasha Faye Evans DESCRIPTION:Cedar Woman is a tribute to a legacy of strong and resilient Coast Salish women spanning all the way back to a tree. Created by Tasha Faye Evans in collaboration with artist Ocean Hyland\, it is a solo about protecting what we know from the depth of our soul to be sacred. This profound and emotionally stirring work is based around a mask\, held in a box carved from an ancient yellow cedar\, as Evans prepares to dance Cedar Woman’s spirit. \nPlease join us for a pre-show reception in the lobby starting at 7.15pm. \nFull schedule of DIV events URL:https://thedancecentre.ca/event/dance-in-vancouver-tasha-faye-evans/ CATEGORIES:Performance END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
