Collision
“Collision” is a three year interdisciplinary, multileveled dance production reflective of Vancouver's history. It takes place at the Roundhouse once the western terminus of the Canadian Pacific Railway and now a creative centre for people of all cultures and ages.
Created by an extraordinary team of award winning artists of varying disciplines, “Collision” collides professional contemporary dancers with multicultural and multigenerational community dancers, composers, photographers, filmmakers, designers and cultural figures.
“Collision” explores the collisions of past and present and the historical collision of European and Asian immigrants and First Nations and their different relationships to the railway. The many lives of this territory are integral to “Collision”
The audience moves through the Roundhouse public areas within and without the building with over 30 performers animating the spirit of the place and evocative imagery that brings past and present into the same space. Music will be both live and recorded including the sound of iron railways spikes clanging on the tracks and the amplified sounds of the space itself as the bodies of the dancers move through it.
The Roundhouse provides a venue that gives the audience multiple ways to experience the performance — activity is happening around you, you choose what to look at, what to hear, where to stand, how you want to experience the program — what you want to take from it.
