Dancing on the Edge tip sheet: Rachel Meyer, Dab Dance Project, Danse Carpe Diem

    1 of 1 2 of 1

      Dancing on the Edge fills the Firehall Arts Centre and other parts of the city with movement from Thursday (July 4) to July 13. Here are some other highlights:

      Transverse Orientation

      July 4 to 6 at 1490 East Georgia Street

      One of the atmospheric highlights of last summer’s arts calendar was former Ballet BC dancer Rachel Meyer’s haunting, late-night Transverse Orientation. The exploration of moths returns with a new group of dancers: Stéphanie Cyr, Eowynn Enquist, Livona Ellis, and Josh Martin, with Meyer returning alongside live violinist Janna Sailor. Some of the dance has changed, and the warehouse setting offers even more possibilities this time.

       

      Edge One

      July 5 and 6 at the Firehall Arts Centre

      We like the diversity of this mixed program, with Seoul’s quirky young Dab Dance Project; a fun and fearless dance-theatre take on modern-dance history by Calgary’s Linnea Swan; and local choreographic bright light Meredith Kalaman’s exploration of the near-death experience, with dancer Matthew Wyllie.

       

      Ecoute Pour Voir

      July 10 and 11 in the Granville Island Public Market courtyard, 3 and 5 p.m.

      In this cool interactive work, Danse Carpe Diem connects whimsical performances throughout the outdoor space by giving spectators headphones to listen to the score.
