Vancouver-based residency artists Ysadora Dias, Perelandra Waddle, and Shahir Qrishnaswamy will be performing alongside Surrey-based residency artists Punit Singh, and Tegvaran Sooch. There will also be a post-performance hangout to mingle and converse with all the artists.

An evening show by the Vancouver Residency Artists, showcasing their full-length twenty minute works. Performances by Ysadora Dias, Perelandra Waddle, and Shahir Qrishnaswamy. There will be a facilitated post-performance talk back, where you can ask the artists questions about their work, process, and experience in the residency!

Tickets: FREE, and donations are welcome (both online and in-person)

Note that we can only offer 25 tickets on the Eventbrite platform, but MORROW can hold up to 30 people. If tickets are sold out (that would be amazing!), please come to the door and we can probably squeeze you in : )

As part of our inaugual branch in Surrey, the three local residency artists - Isabella, Punit Singh, and Tegvaran Sooch - have a showing of new work created in the residency on Oct 10 at Surrey Civic Theatres. There will be a facilitated post-performance talk back with the artists.

ABOUT THE RE-CENTERING / MARGINS RESIDENCY

Re-Centering / Margins increases opportunities and professional development for Vancouver-and Surrey-based, IBPOC (Indigenous, Black, People of Colour) early career dance artists to create contemporary works with mentoring support to more fully realize their artistic visions. This project also supports our mission by strengthening early career contemporary dance artists for future engagements locally, provincially and beyond!

PROJECT BACKGROUND

The six selected artists were chosen in a competitive process by a Selection Committee of established artists. Each artist receives a $2500 flat fee and chooses an established artist to be a mentor offering creative feedback, as well as an emerging writer of colour to accompany and document their process.

This residency is funded by Canadian Heritage, in part with the support of a City of Surrey Cultural Grant, and the BC Arts Council. We would also like to thank the Antler Ridge Dance Studio, Dance Victoria and the Hamber Foundation for their generous support of the artist tour in July to Salt Spring Island and Victoria.
