Here To Go brings to the stage innovative, thoughtful and dynamic collaborations by twelve passionate and engaging dance artists.

Here To Go began at The Beaumont Stage in January 2009. It launched a new vision for a community of dance artists, joining forces to foster an ongoing performance opportunity for emerging choreographers. The inaugural performance was initiated by a group of nine dance artists who after years of studying, creating and performing together wished to create a platform for their artistic development. The Second Edition sees this community expand to a group of twelve.
Come join the movement!

“The way you experience the city is not about the city itself but the way you move through it (your routes).” Nigel Taylor

Through an interaction with Vancouver’s architecture, streets and human traffic, WAKE is a full evening interdisciplinary contemporary dance work with eight professional dancers. We have also enlisted some of Vancouver’s most experienced and acclaimed artists for WAKE: Guest Artist Emily Molnar, lighting design by James Proudfoot, text by Tanya Marquardt, sound by Martin Gotfrit and video projections by Rob Groeneboer.
This full evening work has been shown in development at Dances for a Small Stage, the Vancouver International Dance Festival, the SFU Open House, and the Norman Rothstein Theatre with the Standing Wave Ensemble.

See John Jane’s review of Edge 2 here:
http://www.reviewvancouver.org/da_dancing_edge_edge2_09.htm

“Former Torontonian and current Vancouverite Serge Bennathan’s Slam2 is his take on the biblical Prodigal Son. Vanessa Goodman, Jane Osborne and Leigha Wald each take turns narrating the story into a dangling microphone on an empty stage. To [Bertrand Chénier]’s menacing soundscape, the three dancers execute Bennathan’s bruising trademark athleticism. It is a maelstrom of emotions and these young dancers look very strong in the telling.”
