A Study for Enters and Exits
Interpreters: Justine A. Chambers, Alison Denham, Tiffany Tregarthen
Lighting Design: James Proudfoot
Sound design: Kristen Roos
A study for enters and exits is an iteration of a larger work, Enters and Exits. Transposing the gestures and social behaviors from liminal spaces (waiting rooms, corridors, platforms, and lobbies) the work is physically situated in doorways between the front and back stage of the theatre. The gestures are reorganized by the specific architectural imposition of the theatre, subverting the narrative of their origin. “Chambers explores unspectacular movement vocabularies, privileging the every day over the virtuosic dancing body audiences are accustomed to viewing.” (Rehearsal Research – Notes on a Residency by Sarah Todd).
Inheritor Album - Company 605
Drawn from interpretations of inheritance and succession, Inheritor Album is a collection of short pieces that pull apart the roles of inheritor and predecessor, exploring a transitional period between the two, and creating brief snapshots of one generation’s place in time. Inheritor Album is a serenity prayer in motion—a meditation on transition that calls for simultaneous strength and surrender, with the dance embodying this duality. This work features six performers dancing alongside integrated film/animation projections created by Miwa Matreyek.

Collision is an interdisciplinary, multi-levelled dance production, reflective of Vancouver's history. It is site specific to the Roundhouse, once the western terminus of the Canadian Pacific Railway and now a creative centre for people of all cultures and ages. Created by an extraordinary team of award winning Vancouver artists of varying disciplines, Collision collides professional contemporary dancers with multicultural and multigenerational community dancers, Indigenous artists, composers, photographers, filmmakers, designers and cultural figures. Collision explores the collisions of past and present and the historical collision of European and Asian immigrants and Indigenous people of the territory and their differing relationships to the railway.
Performances took place at the Roundhouse Community Arts & Recreation Centre as part of the Dancing on the Edge Festival, 2011.
