Join Inverso Productions for 3 days of intergenerational dance: performances, workshops, panels, and time to connect. Performances include: a solo by Claudia Moore, a recent creation by All Bodies Dance, and Inverso’s Borrowed Time, bringing together professional and community dancers to explore constellations of care in different phases of our lives.
Inverso’s Intergenerational Festival will be an annual event starting in Spring 2025. This event is based on a belief in dance as means to connect beyond across age groups. As our relationships shift over time, this dynamic from parent to child, care-giver to care-receiver, mentor to mentee transforms. The intention of this Festival is to highlight the diversity of our collective lived experience, to inspire a fresh view on aging in society and include representation of older adults as part of our community in performance. Ultimately, it is about how we all lift each other up.
Sponsor acknowledgement
Thanks to the BC Arts Council, the Canada Council of the Arts and our private donors for their generous support as well as The Roundhouse and the Scotiabank Dance Centre. This festival was also made possible through an arts partnership with the Roundhouse and a Theatre Grant from Vancouver Civic Theatres.
