SUMMARY:Project InTandem: Double-Bill Dance Production
DESCRIPTION:The Calgary based contemporary dance collective Project InTandem returns to stage to tour their works Deep END by Meghann Michalsky and moving through\, it all amounts to something by Sylvie Moquin to the 2021 “Chutzpah! Festival” in Vancouver\, BC and at the Jeanne & Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre in Camrose\, AB. \nThis double-bill will consist of a quartet\, choreographed by Moquin\, and a quintet\, choreographed by Michalsky. Sylvie’s work explores neuroplasticity and the rewiring of self; her choreography is visceral and gravity-defying. Meghann’s work focuses on primal movement aesthetics\, exploring raw physicality in correlation to a spiritual rebirth.  \nThe all female cast embodies the bold\, risk-taking and athletic physicality that Project InTandem is known for. A must-see event\, this highly anticipated double-bill celebrates feminine prowess. \n“As female artists who are boldly venturing to make waves in the prairie region\, we view the Project InTandem platform as a vehicle to express our voices and enrich our community. We are passionate about sharing Calgarian contemporary dance with our neighbours through this tour.”

SUMMARY:Pivoting to Digital: The Dance Edition
DESCRIPTION:A Pacific Legal Education & Outreach event as part of the 2021 Vancouver International Dance Festival\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\nVirtual performances have carried many of us through the pandemic\, providing new ways for us to experience art\, and stay connected. But\, what are the concerns for dance artists when going virtual\, and how can you protect yourself? Dancers everywhere have made the necessary pivot to digital in order to continue to share their work whether it be through offering a livestream\, pre-recorded and purchased performance\, or more. On May 27th as part of the Vancouver International Dance Festival\, we’ll discuss the legal complexities at play when presenting digitally with Josh Martin of Company 605\, Allison Beda of A MUSE PRODUCTIONS\, and Tamar Tabori\, emerging dance / video artist. \nZoom details for this meeting will be shared through your order confirmation email from Eventbrite.

Ms. Beda’s award winning work screens internationally at festivals\, in theaters\, on television\, in art galleries\, on billboards\, in the metro and even at the Olympic games. Her company A Muse Productions has a penchant for delightfully\, deliriously flawed characters\, and loves telling funny\, thought-provoking and subversively feminist stories about women.
