WHAT’S HAPPENING?

HAKO, a multidisciplinary dance experience, is onstage at Shadbolt Centre for the Arts, 6450 Deer Lake Ave.
 

 

WHEN?

The show is on from Wednesday, May 22 to Saturday, May 25 at 8 p.m. nightly.

 

 

WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT? 

The work is a collaboration by OURO Collective, Vancouver-based dance collective that uses hip-hop, waacking, breaking, popping and contemporary dance as the basis for new work, and Tangible, an experiential design firm whose interactive installations have been displayed around the world.

“The show aims to engage the public and to break down the separation between performers and audience by creating an interactive and playful environment,” said a write-up about it. “HAKO will equally and simultaneously highlight the movement vocabulary and the interactive installations, working to seamlessly bring both art forms together. The show challenges our relationship to technology and brings back the lost sense of play and curiosity.”

The show, which features five dancers, will make its premiere at the Shadbolt Centre.

 

HOW DO I GET TICKETS?

Tickets are available at the box office, 604-205-3000, or tickets.shadboltcentre.com. Wednesday seats are $15. For Thursday to Saturday, there’s a special “pick your price” promotion on until April 18 that lets you use the drop-down menu to choose your ticket price: $15, $25, $36 or $50.
