DanceHouse, in partnership with Vancouver Tap Dance Society, presents the Canadian premiere of Dorrance Dance’s electrifying SOUNDspace, on stage April 19 and 20, 2024 at 8pm at the Vancouver Playhouse. Originally choreographed for New York City’s St. Mark’s Church, the work is a high-spirited and wildly innovative exploration of the relationship between sound and movement – from the hypnotic slide of socks, and slap of bare feet, to the percussive and thrilling roar of fast-tapping heels. SOUNDspace is a breathtaking meeting of past traditions and contemporary techniques. As the virtuoso display of physical percussion gives rise to a wall of sound, the performers unite, building a syncopated conflagration that will burn down the house. For tickets and further information, visit: dancehouse.ca

Choreographed by Guillaume Côté, the company’s Artistic Director and internationally-celebrated Principal Dancer with The National Ballet of Canada, the strikingly beautiful work, performed by five dancers, is a potent exploration of home as a grounding force. Inspired by the mythical Odysseus, X (Dix) makes remarkable use of the foundational materials of storytelling, employing archetypal ideas – from the hero’s journey to the role of home – to create new narratives of life’s journey and the elemental forces of leaving and returning.

DanceHouse and Dancers of Damelahamid present the Vancouver premiere of the politically-charged and spiritually-centred work, Vástádus eana – The answer is land, on stage February 23 and 24, 2024 at 8pm at the Vancouver Playhouse. Choreographed by Elle Sofe Sara, the full-length work is a powerful exploration and reclamation of the central tenets of Sámi cultural identity: community and kinship between people and nature. Having been subjected to almost-total cultural obliteration through residential schools, language suppression, and religious conversion, Vástádus eana – The answer is land embodies a critically important message about the foundational attachment arising from community and culture, and offers the possibility of a new relationship with the natural world. Through a radical act of resilience, the performers open the evening by guiding the audience through a traditional spiritual practice outdoors before shepherding them into the theatre.
