You still have time, until November 26, to see the DanceHouse presentation of Canadian icon Louise Lecavalier/Fou Glorieux (Montreal) with her work Stations, co-presented with SFU Woodward’s Cultural Programs. This fiery solo propels Lecavalier’s lifelong dance trajectory forward; traversing the ebb and flow of movement and examining the memories that live in the body; she pursues this dizzying solo odyssey in search of her own truth. Connecting four stations with her technical virtuosity, her stage presence, and her magnetic personality, she moves between precise delicacy and wild abandon, accompanied by scores from Antoine Berthiaume, Colin Stetson, Suuns and Jerusalem in My Heart, and Teho Teardo and Blixa Bargeld. Through the stories embedded in her flesh, each movement, whether grand or subtle, reflects an attempt to articulate human experience that lies beyond words. “This piece is yet a further attempt to renew the primitive experience called dance,”—Louise Lecavalier. Listen to this great interview with Lecavalier in the latest special edition of the SFU Woodward’s Cultural Programs ArtScape podcast, in conversation with DanceHouse AD, Jim Smith. For more info about Lecavalier and to buy tickets, visit DanceHouse.

Saturday, November 26, as part of the F-O-R-M Festival, check out FUTUREFUTURES – a CBC Arts Original. Collaboratively conceived by Director Brian J. Johnson and Vancouver’s acclaimed Company 605, FUTUREFUTURES is a collection of 5 short dance films that explore the digital destiny of humankind through a unique merging of camera and visual effects with an intensely specific choreographic vision. Embracing the absurdity of centering dance inside a sci-fi narrative, the experimental series collapses time to portray human culture at an unprecedented moment: an emergence of a new, autonomous and intelligent being – the digital reflection and culmination of ourselves. In a state of mass transition, and forced into a bizarre coexistence alongside this growing presence, the remaining population of embodied “real” humans confront their own fears and curiosity of this new dawn while grieving what might be left behind in their looming obsolescence. Through its otherworldly imagery, choreography and driving electronic sound score, Future Futures evolves as a strange, highly visual and compellingly watchable exploration into what we are if no longer tied to our physical bodies, and how we will define humanity when being faced with a fading IRL existence. At SFU Woodwards – Djavad Mowafaghian Theatre, 5 pm. This event is FREE but please RSVP!

Thursday-Saturday December 8-10, The Dance Centre presents as part of the Global Dance Connections series an exciting world premiere You Touch Me, created by Vancouver-based choreographers Arash Khakpour and Emmalena Fredriksson. You Touch Me weaves an intricate web of duets within an ensemble of people who grew up far from here, and far from each other. Using dance and text, their encounters investigate notions of ‘self’ and ‘other’, cultural identity, race and gender. Six virtuosic performers dance, entertain, question and challenge each other, touching on universal themes from togetherness, ageing and love, to climate change and migration. Moving between the political and the poetic, the provocative and the abstract, seriousness and silliness, the work will attempt to feel and reveal this moment in time. Check out a trailer! At the Scotiabank Dance Centre, 8 pm. Post-show artist talkback December 9. Tix
