EN: a raincity street dance - the work has begun



We are working on a new piece for the Dancing on the Edge Festival – which is an extension of EN (circle/fate) the piece we did for the Procession of Performing Circles (LIVE Biennale) in March 2010. Composer and taiko master Eien Hunter-Ishikawa and TomoeArts director Colleen Lanki have been working on creating the music and shape of the piece…meeting and improvising movements and music.

And we are featuring projections using photos of people and places in Vancouver's downtown eastside, commissioned from five community photographers connected to Hope in Shadows. We met over a week ago and they are busy taking photos now...The Pivot Legal Society wrote about our first meeting: http://pivotlegal.org/node/307

We're going to post updates as the process continues - about the music, the movement, the text, the photos...and the rain (the show is about rain after all...)
