In Situ

In Situ starts indoors and unfolds in the seven storey concourse of Vancouver's Central Library, setting the scene for dynamic interaction between the dancers, musicians and Moshe Safdie's striking architectural design. Artists from Aeriosa and the Vertical Orchestra (Redshift Music Society) work three-dimensionally, presenting suspended spectacular dance and original spatial music throughout the venue at various heights. The audience will be encouraged to flow through the building, led by the artists and guides who will interact with them along the way, eventually ending outdoors in the serene grandeur of Library Square.

Aeriosa has commissioned an outstanding team of diverse artists to create a full-length interdisciplinary site-specific work under the direction of artistic director Julia Taffe: choreographer Amelia Rudolph, founding artistic director of the internationally renowned vertical dance company Project Bandaloop, and BC composers Jocelyn Morlock and Jordan Nobles. In Situ is inspired by physical expression, engagement with the environment and societal contrasts — themes that permeate Vancouver's cultural landscape and shape urban life
on the West Coast.
