Dance In Vancouver: Action at a Distance/Vanessa Goodman

The Dance Centre presents the 14th biennial Dance In Vancouver

Action at a Distance/Vanessa Goodman
Soft Currents

Soft Currents is inspired by murmurations – enormous groups of starlings that swirl across the sky in shape-shifting clouds. This collaborative creation brings together 12 dance artists and a original light and sound score to explore the idea of collective responsibility.

Working with headphones, the artists respond to text co-authored by Goodman and the group that only they can hear. The audience experiences a performance full of spontaneous eruptions, compositions and delights, alternating between collective unison and individual focus.

This special DIV edition of Soft Currents will have a site-specific component, moving through different spaces at Scotiabank Dance Centre and culminating in the theatre for a post-show social gathering with DJ Brady Marks.
