Time Lapse at EDAM Studios

This is the last weekend to catch a fantastic performance put on by EDAM Studios, Vancouver called Time Lapse. I saw the show last Saturday and was left amazed by the beautiful dancing as well as the evocative choreography.

There are three different pieces in the program and each one is completely unique in style and feel. The first piece filled my head with visions of women trapped in a birdlike ultra-femininity and poised on the brink of collapse, while the second piece, appropriately titled 'Landscapes', was at times like watching a forest of arms and bodies drifting and twisting like leaves falling or waves rising. The last part of the program features multimedia along with simple lighting to create a prison-like setting for the dancers and is set to a score of live recordings by Johnny Cash. All the dancers performed with a raw, emotional, fluid and athletic beauty.

Of course, it's way more fun to make your own interpretations and impressions from experiencing for yourself this experimental dance show, just be sure to reserve tickets ahead of time as this is the final weekend and the shows all sell out early.
