As DanceHouse prepares to close out its current season with the Canadian Premiere of Dorrance Dance’s SOUNDspace, the company has announced its program for an exciting 2024/25 season.
Co-presented with Vancouver Tap Dance Society, SOUNDspace will be on stage April 19 and 20, 2024 at 8pm at the Vancouver Playhouse, wrapping up the current season. With subscriptions for the new season also available from April 19th, DanceHouse will not leave audiences without the anticipation of more electrifying, ground-breaking works to come.
The DanceHouse 2024/25 season will feature performances from around the globe to Vancouver stages from October 2024 through April 2025. Six diverse companies and choreographers bring an eclectic mix of experiences whose scope includes contemporary dance, tango, circus, ice skating, live music, and more. DanceHouse’s 17th season includes two Canadian premieres, three BC premieres, one Canadian company debut, and the return of an all-time DanceHouse audience favourite. It also boasts the addition of matinee performances offering further accessibility, as well as new season ticket pricing for youth and families.
“After 16 years of challenging our audience’s conceptions and definitions of dance, the season ahead pushes our programming – and ourselves – further than we’ve ever gone before,” says Jim Smith, Artistic and Executive Director of DanceHouse. “Minds will be expanded, bent, and blown with the diverse array of programming we’ve scoured the globe to assemble. We cannot wait to share these eclectic experiences with our longtime audiences – and to welcome adventurous new art lovers into the fold.”
