La Confidencia
The Vancouver International Dance Festival continues this week with Cruceta Flamenco’s ‘La Confidencia’. As a dance troupe from Spain, they add their own flamenco style to the VIDF lineup this year. An exploratory performance that expresses the puzzling yet compelling human behaviour that arises from falling in love.
The shows will be from Mar. 10 – 12th at the Roundhouse Performance Centre. Tickets are on the VIDF website.
The show will also include:
… another free feature (with VIDF membership) at Vancouver International Dance Festival called ‘The Life Of…‘ by The Source dance troupe with dance professionals-in-training. The performance itself will be based on the journey of a woman from life to death. On Mar. 4-5th at 7PM on BLENZ Coffee Community Stage.
… a collaboration between Vancouver Red Cross and Vancouver Public Library. ‘A Story To Tell & A Place for the Telling’ is an evening to discover the lives of refugees living in Canada. The speakers are Yari Gorle, now a UBC Arts student and Student Refugee Program Coordinator, and Abdifatah Dahir, a UBC student. It’s on Mar. 7th at 7PM at Central Library. Click here for more info.
