236 East Pender Street, Vancouver
Thursdays: 11:30pm - 12:30 am Witching hour solos (viewable from the street through live projections on windows)
Fridays: 10pm - midnight Bob’s Salon (interactive art salon for the curious imbiber, featuring guest artists)
Saturdays: 12 - 5 pm Guided improvised tours of the city by six performers, based on Bose and McIntosh’s stories and maps. (first come, first tour).
Chris Bose and David McIntosh, retrace their separate trajectories through the streets of the city. Their memories, reanimated wraiths and the spirits imbibed are recorded in a series of twelve stories and accompanying maps. Installed in the gallery, these reports and boundaries document their embodied experiences of Vancouver. Afternoon guided city tours, late night improvised art salons and witching hour solos, will enable guest artists, citizens and visitors to respond, react or ignore the reflected world of Bose and McIntosh. Bring your ghosts, bring your body, have a drink and take your chances. Join the conversation about this city, your place, our past and its spirits - both the ones that stubbornly linger, and the ones that enable forgetting.
User control is a constitutive feature of electronic gaming but foreign to contemporary dance, making this project by the Canadian-born, New York-based indie dance artist Belinda McGuire genuinely innovative.
Short dancefilm made in BC by Aya Garcia, Deanna Peters, Ashley Whitehead and Paul Finlay is screening at the American Dance Festival’s 2015 International Screendance Festival July 19 at Nasher Museum in Durham, NC.
