AERIOSA

Aeriosa Returns to the Theatrical Stage with a
New Full-Length Show
A Full Evening Work Of Vertical Dance
Thursday-Saturday May 24-26, 8pm

Post-show artist talk-back Friday May 25 

Faris Theatre, Scotiabank Dance Centre
677 Davie St. Vancouver

Performing in the Theatre is a Rare Occasion for this Company

Over the last sixteen years Aeriosa has danced on The Stawamus Chief Mountain in Squamish, Tapei City Hall, at Sha Tin New Town Centre in Hong Kong, on the sides of the Vancouver Library Square, Banff Centre, Toronto's L Tower, Scotiabank Dance Centre....and the last five years have been spent dancing with and in the trees along BC’s West Coast. 
Reflective of our own human adaptability and journey in life, Second Nature explores the versatile attributes of bamboo and contemplates it's capacity for transformation. Our diverse reliance on this grass is portrayed throughout the piece with unique visuals and inventive interaction. Experience dancers flying though the air-space in interconnected suspension, a set that transforms, innovative rigging, original composition and poetic edgy lighting.

There will be an artist / audience talk-back immediately following Friday's show.

THE AGE OF AMAZEMENT

Aeriosa Provided Opening NightEntertainment For
Ted Talks
April 10-14, 2018

Vancouver Hosted This Year’s
World-Renowned TED Talks
 
 
The theme….THE AGE OF AMAZEMENT. Over 100 speakers ranging from Scientists, Inventors, Behavioural Psychologists, Physicians, Adventures, Activists and Artists gave educational inspiring talks over a 4-day period.  

Inside The Vancouver Convention Centre the decor was modern and inviting. The gathering spaces encouraged conversation, collaboration and flow. Areas plentiful with food, healthy snacks and beverages were provided next to open spaces with modern seating and warm ambient lighting. Everything needed to network - including printing, scanning and photocopy equipment was provided for the attendees.
 
Speaking of Amazing Artists.Aeriosa Dance Company provided the opening night’s entertainment. In preparation, Aeriosa rehearsed over a 3-day period leading up to the show, animating public spaces above the Seawall for passers by. On opening day the VIP lounge, situated on the third level with floor to ceiling windows, provided gorgeous daytime views of Vancouver’s glistening towers, Canada Place Sails and the harbour for conference attendees. By night it transformed into a cocktail lounge and theatre. At the scheduled 8pm showtime, dancers lowered into position directly outside the windows. The drapes on the inside were drawn and as the music commenced they slowly opened revealing 7 aerial dancers suspended in two duos and a trio. Powerful ground lights illuminated the silver-white costumes and the dancers moved in perfect harmony with the music. Magical….? Yes.
Certainly a fitting dance company to compliment this year’s theme.
