Company 605 + The Human Expression

The Dance Centre presents the Global Dance Connections series

Company 605 + The Human Expression
Sloth Canon

Vancouver’s Company 605 and Singapore’s The Human Expression (T.H.E) Dance Company join forces for a thrilling new international creation. Envisioned and choreographed by Anthea Seah (T.H.E) and Josh Martin (Company 605), Sloth Canon brings together performers and collaborators from both cities to seek out what it means to build and to break.

A fragmented team of five is determined to “keep it together” as their bodies are propelled by unnatural momentum, and their bubble of fantasy drifts towards the spike of reality. What happens when imagination exceeds capacity? When ambitions threaten to burst under their own weight? When the sin of slowness collides with the pressure to produce? Sloth Canon is hellbent on building forward - while simultaneously falling apart.
