Festival for Imbolc in Vancouver

Published by Gary at 9:00 pm under Festivals

  It is great to see the revival of the festival spirit and Carolyn Deby in Vancouver, a choreographer, is organising the festival at The Roundhouse to move on to other venues afterwards.She says:

I’m interested in how people see themselves as part of the natural world.

When we live in cities, we hide ourselves away from natural processes. What we”re looking at are the changes of the seasons and other cyclical changes.

The Vancouver Sun reports:

“What makes Imbolc (in the belly) considerably different than other dance and theatrical performances is that it is a site-specific work. That means the performance take place outside of a theatre in spaces where you wouldn”t normally see dance or theatre.”

For Imbolc, the audience will be meeting at The Roundhouse Community Centre at 8 p.m. and then, over the course of two hours, moving to several venues spread over 16 blocks in the downtown core.

“There’’s no audience participation in Imbolc but audience members might find the performance taking place around them. Imbolc includes dance, film and performance art.”

Wish I was there.
