#DOTE2020 THANK YOU!! As we close our 32nd annual Dancing on the Edge Festival (and our first to #digitally #stream our programs!) we would like to extend our thanks to all of our talented #choreographers, #dancers, #creatives, and #crew. We also show our gratitude for our festival staff, Firehall Arts Centre staff, our funding bodies and donors. In 2020, Dancing on the Edge Festival is proud to have presented THREE LIVE WORKS in the Firehall Arts Centre #theatre and courtyar...d stage (two of which were streamed on #YouTube)! These performances were socially-distanced with coronavirus precautions in place. We hosted SIX EDGE PROGRAMS with a mix of world premieres, #dance documentaries, #shortfilms, and work-in-progress film showings, streamed for the first time throughout the world! We also partnered with Festival of Recorded Movement and the response. to present F-O-R-M on the Edge and Dance Cafe on #Instagram Live! Details on our COVID COMMISSIONS applications are coming soon! Check out our website and sign-up to our eNews to be the first in the know! http://www.dancingontheedge.org/ If you enjoyed any of our programs this year and would like to support us in bringing world class #contemporarydance to our local community in #Vancouver and throughout the globe, please consider making a #donation to the festival: http://www.dancingontheedge.org/become-donor/. And finally, to show our absolute appreciation for everyone who participated in this year’s festival, please enjoy a snapshot from our #DOTE Opening Night (held for the first time on #Zoom!), hosted by Tara Cheyenne Friedenberg and featuring some of this year’s choreographers, dancers, festival board, staff and supporters. This year the party engaged in a group dance to physicalise the feelings of 2020 and to utilise dance as a vehicle for #community! Enjoy!

"The fest was well situated for the shift to #digital (though that in no way should diminish the huge effort that went into rebuilding its plans). Its #contemporary #artists are used to experimentation, its shows usually taking an intimate scale that lends itself to the kind of short films that featured here. Overall, the fest danced its way smoothly to a digital platform, suggesting that #streamed work may find a lasting place at the Edge--long past the pandemic and beyond the overriding theme of solitude." - Janet Smith, The Georgia Straight #DOTE2020 #DOTEdate Georgia Straight Arts Firehall Arts Centre Company 605 Shay Kuebler/Radical System Art #RachelMeyer #ZiyianKwan #DumbInstrumentDance Tara Cheyenne Performance #AMuseProductions #JeanetteKotowich #dance #contemporarydance #shortfilm #digitaldance
