PRODUCERS’ NOTE Our intention is to put Vancouver on the international map of dance as the place to come to see dance that moves the heart and soul, that stimulates the mind, charges the senses, and stokes the imagination. We thank you for your support and willingness to join us in this continuing adventure of exploration in new worlds of movement expression.

This festival could not have taken place without the support of many hard working people and the generosity of many agencies, small businesses, and individuals. We thank the visiting and local dance artists who are sharing their talents and knowledge in performances and workshops.

We extend our gratitude to a wonderful crew of technicians and administrators who make the Roundhouse Community Centre a wonderful venue for dance. We appreciate all the help of the volunteers without whom we would be hard pressed to produce this festival. We thank the Boards of Directors of Kokoro Dance Theatre Society and the Vancouver International Dance Festival Society for their continuing belief in the value of our work. And we thank you again for coming to the 2003 Vancouver International Dance Festival. We are grateful to you for your encouragement and patronage.

One big favour we ask of you is to take a couple of minutes to fill our audience survey forms.

Your information will greatly assist us in saving costs for future festivals and you could win festival passes to the 2004 Vancouver International Dance Festival.
