The Odd Volume <\/em><\/strong>is an autobiographical solo that sources Ziyian Kwan\u2019s memories of 70\u2019s Vancouver to subvert a lifetime of internalized racism. Vignettes both poignant and irreverent, consider the tensions of racialization, displacement and cultural assimilation. Central to the piece are questions around Ziyian\u2019s immigrant experience as a first-generation person of colour: what does it mean to know that one will never arrive yet always yearn to belong? Leaning into the poetic dissonance of vulnerability, the work unsilences the odd volume of one womxn\u2019s identity and maps a road to healing.<\/p>\n

#DANCEFORTH<\/em> is a new National Arts Centre (NAC) Dance livestream series designed to support Canadian dance artists both locally and nationally. The Odd Volume is presented in partnership with The Dance Centre. The stream will be available for viewing for 24 hours.<\/p>\n
