Things To Do: 6 can't-miss Vancouver arts events this week, June 13 to 19
Short and Sweet
We love the easily digestible format of 12 Minutes Max, the program of short, innovative dance works that’s been mixing it up for more than a decade. But this week, the dance “tapas” take on a decidedly global flavour, with flamenco, bharata natyam, and South American folk on the menu alongside bold contemporary fare. Alejandra Miranda and Juan Villegas (shown here) recast traditional Latin American folk dances in the duet within; Jhoely Triana’s flamenco-inspired solo Mi Piel explores a homemade wedding dress; and Katie Cassady’s Two Chapters tackles climate change.
12 Minutes Max is at the Scotiabank Dance Centre on Friday (June 15).
