DANCE:CRAFT

JOE INK in Partnership with SFU Woodward's Cultural Programs

JOE INK in Partnership with SFU Woodward's Cultural Programs Proudly Presents The World Premiere of DANCE:CRAFT.

SFU Goldcorp Centre for the Arts

DANCE:CRAFT is an exploration of two dancers interacting with numerous craft objects in a reconfigured theatre setting. Its craft seen through the lens of dance and remixed, a look at our relationship to objects, creating and interacting with them. How do objects further extend the language of the body and its narrative possibilities? JOE INK is creating this performance scenario through dance, craft objects, original music, lighting and video design. In addition to the performances an exhibition of 5 Virtual Reality films will take the viewer into the atelier of the artists.

DANCE:CRAFT began as a research-based dance/art project, a cross discipline performance work engaging Joe Laughlin and dancers’ in a dialogue with 5 prominent British Columbia Craft Artists, facilitated and curated by the Craft Council of British Columbia. The intention is a synthesis, blurring the lines between construction and performance and the body as object. Each of the 5 craft elements; glass (Hope Forstenzer), metal (Stefanie Dueck), wood (Patrick Christie), fibre (Deborah Dumka) and ceramics (Debra E Sloan) are represented and re-interpreted by celebrated choreographer Joe Laughlin and acclaimed dance artists Heather Dotto and Joey Matt. It is cross disciplinary, collaborative and cumulative and uses a responsive approach to fusing all of the elements.Creative Team and Performers:Artistic Direction, Concept, Choreography: Joe LaughlinPerformers: Heather Dotto and Joey MattCraft Artists: Patrick Christie, Stefanie Dueck, Deborah Dumka, Hope Forstenzer, Debra E SloanMusic Composition: Jesse and Josh ZubotLighting Design: James ProudfootVideo Design: Eric ChadCostume Design: Jenifer DarbellayVirtual Reality Film Director: Claire SanfordPhotography Michael SlobodianJoe Ink was founded in 1995 and has built a reputation for its versatility.
