Svāhā! (Vancouver)


Nova Dance's latest production, Svāhā!, is headed to Vancouver! Catch the show at Vancouver Playhouse this summer!

Co-presented with DanceHouse, Indian Summer Festival and SFU Woodward’s Cultural Programs

Inspired by women building community through acts of celebration, mourning and worship, Nova Dance uses the universal language of movement to gather people together in synchronous experience.

In addition to a cast of more than 20 performers from almost 30 different dance traditions – everything from Bharatnatyam to Butoh, as well as ballet, jazz and salsa, Svāhā! features local artists in an opening invocation that accompanies the performances. From this experience of communion and solidarity comes a work brimming with life, colour, and revelry of every hue.
