Vancouver, The Dance Centre | Event calendar
Vancouver dance artist Justine A. Chambers is spearheading a number of projects during her Dance Centre residency. Justine’s practice and work straddles the line between contemporary dance and visual art. Her interest lies in collaborative creation, re-positioning dance and the act of performance, and troubling the performer/viewer relationship.
“I am drawn to the movement of all bodies, not just the heroic and virtuosic acts of dancers. I am interested in the dances that are already there: the social choreographies. I work with quotidian movement (the ordinary and every day) and how it relates to specific spaces, places and social contexts.”
battery opera performance's Talking, Thinking, Dancing Body (TTDB) is a facilitated conversation about aesthetics, context and artistic process. Initiated in 2012 by Lee Su-Feh, it encourages speaking about dance from an awareness of our bodies and the world it lives in. It unabashedly interrogates dance through a lens concerned with decolonizing, anti-racism and feminism.
