For fans of contemporary dance, the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts is the place to be in February.
Coming up Feb. 6 to Feb. 9, audiences can enjoy In Fiction, a new work from the Action at a Distance company that “blurs the line between the real and the imagined,” says a write-up about the show.
“This visceral solo strikes a balance between cognitive understanding and phantasmal imagination with engaging, highly physical results,” says the write-up.
It’s created and performed by Vanessa Goodman, in collaboration with lighting designer James Proudfoot.
In Fiction is onstage Wednesday, Feb. 6 through Saturday, Feb. 9. Tickets are $15 for the Wednesday show, and $36 for Thursday to Saturday.
Then, from Feb. 21 to 23, it’s time for Company 605’s work Loop, Lull.
“Set in an environment striving to be in continuous transformation, the performers take charge of lighting and sound, shifting the movement in reaction to one another and the changing space,” says a write-up about the performance. “This creates a responsive, improvised state for those onstage and an enlivened experience for those witnessing.”
Tickets are $36.
