p(l)ace in Dance In Vancouver's Choreography Walk (November 19th+21st)

In collaboration with Robert Azevedo, Matilda Cobanli, Felicia Lau, Hailey McCloskey, Layla Mrozowski and Avery Smith, I will present a new work at Dance In Vancouver's Choreography Walk curated by Justine Chambers. Site specifically located at the Yaletown Park, p(l)ace explore notions of filling and emptying within the structure of the body, the dancing collective and the city.

Thursday November 19, 1-3pm Saturday November 21, 2-4pm

Inspired by the Soundwalk, participants will be lead on a two-hour silent walk through the city of Vancouver. The Choreography Walk will invite eight curated dance/performance-makers to develop fleeting choreographic works that respond to “choreography as a way of seeing the world” (Klein, Valk, Gormly). Where the Soundwalk is “an excursion whose main purpose is listening to the environment….to rediscover and reactivate our sense of hearing” (Weterkamp), the Choreography walk invites choreographers to create work that will re-shuffle context, broaden participants perception and draw attention to the many choreographic acts of the everyday.
