Acclaimed around the world as an exceptional choreographer and performer, BC dance artist Joshua Beamish brings together a program of thrilling contemporary dance pieces showcasing both aspects of his work in PROXIMITY.
This collection of short works features two of his own creations – Lost Touch, a solo danced by Renée Sigouin (Kidd Pivot, Out Innerspace Dance Theatre); and Proximity, a duet performed by Beamish and Sigouin. Beamish also dances two solos choreographed for him: Redemption, by the internationally-renowned Belgian-Colombian choreographer Annabelle Lopez Ochoa, and Ablaze Amongst the Fragments of Your Sky by Kirsten Wicklund of Ballet BC and Flanders Ballet in Belgium. The program also includes Falling Upward, a short film created by Beamish with dancer/filmmaker Scott Fowler of NDT and composer Stefan Nazarevich.
