FESTIVA

In this fifth rendition of the Vancouver International Dance Festival, you can savour the sensuality of belly dancing, the percussive energy of tap dancing, the exuberant extravagance of hip hop, the introspection of butoh interpreted by both Canadian and American artists, the clash and clamour of Polish and Canadian dance encountering one another, the tingling awe instilled by the crisis of encounter with Nature in the Yukon Territory, improvisation by two of the best improvisers in Canada, the Tao of Chinese classical dance fused with western contemporary expression, extraordinary dance interpretations by three hot BC dancers of choreography by some of the best Quebec choreographers, as well as integrations of visual art, photography, and live music in both exhibitions, cabarets, and performances.

TUTAJ TAM / HERE TO THERE Tutaj Tam/Here to There is an international co-production amalgamating Kokoro Dance and Silesian Dance Theatre in a three part work choreographed by Barbara Bourget, Jay Hirabayashi, and Jacek Lumiński. This is a work of discovery of different cultures, of different impulses of movement, of a desire to share, and a desire to learn. In our global society, this is the future. There are no borders to artistic exploration. We meet one another, we greet one another, and we learn to appreciate and treasure one another.

at the EDAM Studio Theatre

Peter Bingham in performance with Crystal Pite Advance tickets $15 (not available through the VIDF Box Office or website) Tickets at the door $18 EDAM Studio Theatre: 303 East 8th Ave (at the Western Front) Reservations: 604.876.9559 www.edamdance.org

>

VANISHING POINT EDAM Artistic Director Peter Bingham is quite simply one of the best improvising dancers in the world. He reminds us constantly of what it means to be a human being in all of the best senses of humanity.

He is creative, supportive, surprising. Crystal Pite, Artistic Director of Kidd Pivot, is known for her stunning ability as a ballet dancer but her long training with Ballett Frankfurt’s William Forsythe also gave her an acutely intuitive knowledge of the improvisational independence of each part of her body. Expect incendiary chemistry between these two masters when they encounter each other for the first time at the EDAM studio.

Wen Wei Dance Vancouver

Lucie Grégoire Québec

Choreographed and Performed by Wen Wei Wang, Artistic Director of Wen Wei Dance Music by Giorgio Magnanensi Lighting design by James Proudfoot www.newworks.ca

Choreography by Yoshito Ohno & Tatsumi Hijikata Performed by Lucie Grégoire Music by Robert Normandeau, Liszt, Gorecki Costumes by Yoshito Ohno Lighting by March Parent www.luciegregoire.ca

ONE MAN’S …

Wen Wei Wang is a gifted dancer/choreographer who was born, raised, and trained in China. He arrived in Vancouver with the talent to perform both with contemporary dance companies including Judith Marcuse Dance Projects and with Ballet British Columbia. Now with his own company, Wen Wei Dance, he turns his attention to how his past is merging with his future in a solo work that has one foot in Canada and the other stretching to China. Startling, provocative and contemplative, a look at Wen Wei Dance is a look at the future of dance in Canada.

>

EYE Eye was set on Lucie Grégoire by Yoshito Ohno using vocabulary learned and developed from his years of dancing for Tatsumi Hijikata, the progenitor of butoh. Probing into the shadows of life and death, a woman dances as a man, sometimes serenely content, sometimes feverishly desperate—a deeply visceral dance of darkness shot through with light.

Yoshito Ohno is one of the pivotal and legendary figures of Japanese butoh. Lucie Grégoire studied with Kazuo Ohno, Tatsumi Hijikata, and Min Tanaka twenty years ago but today her dance resonates with an authority that is all her own.

Link Dance Yukon Territory

Maureen Fleming New York

Choreographer: Gail Lotenberg Performed by four dancers including Kevin Bergsma, Shannon Moreno and Caroline Farquhar Music: Bodra Elia and JP Carter Production design: Nicola Kozakewicz Lighting design: Itai Erdal.

Performed and choreographed by Maureen Fleming Music by Philip Glass and Somei Satoh Light and Visual Design by Christopher Odo Sound Design by Brett R. Jarvis Photography by Lois Greenfield Video by Jeff Bush www.maureenfleming.com

FEAR’S PHYSIQUE On a cold clear night you climb to the ridge of a mountain and find yourself staring at your other. A wild animal stares into your eyes and you are charged with a terrifying sense of awe at the incomprehensible finiteness of your existence. Death, fear of death, love of live—the connections between you as civilized and the wild animal that is also you—Link Dance dances to connect our feet to the ground we walk on, to put us in touch with ourselves by placing us in front of what we are and what we are not.

>

AXIS MUNDI Studies with Kazuo Ohno and performances with Yoshito Ohno and Min Tanaka have contributed to the surreal movement poetry of Maureen Fleming.

Imagine a flower slowly unfolding its secret beauty. Imagine a drop of dew about to fall from the tip of a leaf. In your nose, the memory of a scent lingers. In your bones, you still feel the chill of an icy mountain stream. Your body walks in the soft mud at the bottom of a turquoise coloured lake. Your fingers remember the softness of a baby’s skin.

Your mind travels to the end of a rainbow. Watch Maureen Fleming and let your imagination go.

Quorum Vancouver

Skin/ À Fleur De Peau Vancouver

Performance by Susan Elliott, Ziyian Kwan & John Ottmann Choreography by Paul-André Fortier, Dominique Porte, David Pressault, and Benoit Lachambre Lighting by James Proudfoot Music by Alain Thibault, Laurent Masle, and Erwin Vann Costumes by Loraie Tylor, Gabriel Tsampalieros, and Carina Rose

A collaboration between choreographer/dancer Barbara Bourget, composer/performer Marguerite Witvoet and visual artist Lyse Lemieux Poetry: Anne Hébert (used with permission of BOA Editions) www.lyselemieux.com

SOCIAL STUDIES Quorum is the minimum you need to hold a meeting. In this case, more would be unnecessary. Quorum is three of Vancouver’s best dancers— Susan Elliott, Ziyian Kwan, and John Ottman. For this project, they have chosen four dynamic Quebec choreographers—Paul André Fortier, Dominique Porte, Benoît Lachambre, and David Pressault—to give them vehicles in which to express their virtuosity. Quorum is extraordinary dance interpreted by extraordinary dancers.

>

Skin / À Fleur de Peau is an installation as well as a performance event that explores the nature of skin and the ‘skins’ we wear. A three-week installation of latex sculptural dresses by Lyse Lemieux with an interactive soundscape by Marguerite Witvoet will be transformed on the last three days of the festival into a performance event featuring Barbara Bourget. Like skins, the dresses become layers that are accumulated and shed by the dancer—each abandoned dress a repository of hidden secrets of the past and others hinting at selves yet to be.

WORKSHOPS and LIFE-DRAWING SESSIONS

WRITING DANCE WORKSHOP

VIDF Classes and Workshops

Writing Dance

The best way to deepen your knowledge and appreciation for the artistry of the dancers participating in the VIDF is to take a class or workshop with them.

Course fee: Dance Centre members (Active and Company categories) $150 Dance Centre Supporting members and non-members $200 The fee includes tickets to three VIDF shows at the Roundhouse (additional tickets may be available) and four workshops at Scotiabank Dance Centre, totaling 11 hours

(see schedule on the calendar page of this program)

Aszure Barton has shared the stage with many renowned artists including: Mikhail Baryshnikov, Karen Kain, Paul-Andre Fortier and Evelyn Hart. She is the Artistic Director of the New York based company ASzURe & Artists.

Lucie Grégoire, after initial interaction with the seminal Quebec company, Groupe Nouvelle Aire, spent ten years abroad in New York, France, and Japan. Lucie Grégoire Danse was formed in 1986 and has produced both site specific works as well as a series of solo studies. With a strong reputation as a dancer, choreographer, and teacher, Lucie Grégoire has decades of research in dance to share in her workshop.

Maureen Fleming was born in Japan while her father served there in the American military. As a two year old, she was seriously injured in a car accident that pivotally influenced her to become a life-long student of the body and spirit. Her transformative techniques explore: Internal Exercises, which stimulate and strengthen the muscles closest to the bone, Movement and Metaphor, which challenges students to think and move “past their physical form”; Manipulations, which incorporate stretching and Shiatsu techniques that increase joint flexibility and unlock blockages of energy, allowing for a more complete realization of an artist’s vision.

A Workshop with Kaija Pepper

What are the creative and practical possibilities for writing about dance? The Dance Centre, in association with the Vancouver International Dance Festival, is pleased to present a dance writing workshop led by dance journalist and author Kaija Pepper. Participants will be inspired to deepen their own and the public understanding and respect for the art form through wellwritten, intelligent prose and in-depth discussion. A selection of workshop writing will be published later in the spring in a special supplement, produced in conjunction with the Dance Centre’s monthly member newsletter, Dance Central.

To apply, please send a sample of writing (any topic, up to 1000 words in length) or a letter outlining why you are interested in writing about dance, to Kaija Pepper at kaija@shaw.ca or c/o The Dance Centre, Scotiabank Dance Centre Level 6 677 Davie Street, Vancouver V6B 2G6 tel 604 606 6400 fax 604 606 6401. { Please note that places are limited, and early application is advised }

MOVING REFLECTIONS

SHE’S GOT RED HAIR AND SHE KNOWS HOW TO USE IT…

www.pninagranirer.com

Exhibited locally, nationally and abroad, Pnina Granirer’s works are found in numerous public and private collections throughout North America, Europe, Israel and Peru. Her prize-winning book, ‘The Trials of Eve,’ was published in December 1989; a 40-year retrospective of her work was mounted at the Richmond Art Gallery in January 1998, during which time a book by Ted Lindberg on her life and work, ‘Pnina Granirer: Portrait of an Artist’ (Ronsdale Press) was published.

In June 2005 she will participate in exhibitions in Cagnes-sur-mer, France, and Santiago de Compostela, Spain.

Chris Randle’s photographs are moving reflections of the pulse of dance. She’s got red hair… attempts to capture the movement intensity of Jennifer Clarke.

VIDF official photographer Chris Randle has pictorially chronicled the history of dance in Canada for almost three decades.

Lyse Lemieux

SKIN: À FLEUR DE PEAU www.lyselemieux.com

Lyse Lemieux’ interest in translucency, rubber and dresses has spanned a period of over twenty years. After working in beeswax, glass and neoprene, Lemieux started working with liquid latex. Unlike neoprene, latex deteriorates when exposed to light and oxygen. Like human skin, it is ephemeral and transitory. The sculptures, which are in a state of constant evolution, will quickly break down and disappear. After years of wanting to use the dresses in a performance setting the Skin: À Fleur De Peau project was created as an opportunity to see the concept of the dress as skin, brought to life though the medium of music and dance.
