      Vancouver dance company DanceHouse has announced its fall 2020 season.

      It will present three streaming performances: Dancing at Dusk - A Moment with Pina Bausch’s The Rite of Spring (Oct 21-27); NDT2: Dare to Say (Nov 6-8); and Jack of all Trades’ Battle / Street Dance (Nov 15).

      DanceHouse artistic and executive director Jim Smith released a statement along with the program information.

      “Dance is a powerful art form that builds community," says Smith, "studies even show that an audiences’ heartbeats will synchronize during live performance. And while we may not be able to gather in person to experience this phenomenon, we truly believe--now more than ever--that dance plays a vital role in bringing us together.

      "This fall, we will celebrate this singular art form by streaming three eclectic programs: A border-crossing collaboration celebrating one of history’s greatest choreographers, Pina Bausch; the lauded NDT2’s radical new creations from the cutting edge of the form; and Jack of all Trades’ all-out street dance that will bring the party into audiences’ homes.

      "We invite you to join us, and share in these powerful experiences. We need each other. “ 

      Tickets for all livestreams range from $15 to $25 and are available here.
