SUMMARY:lossy
DESCRIPTION:lossy is about an inability to take it all with us. these are bodies at a loss\, gathering together in a stream of movement. a state of recovery. seeking\, sifting\, grasping for an anchor. these are the bodies that were left behind\, haunted by the ghostly traces of lost futures. a nostalgia for a world that never happened. it is at once real and science fiction\, digital and embodied. \n\n\n\nthis liminal space holds a confrontation with the promise of future\, and ever-present absences. a collision between our inexorable\, ecstatic draw towards the limitless new\, and a continuous loss – a perpetual state of mourning for what we are leaving behind. these are bodies compressed and incomplete. there is no answer. there is only the stream\, and the blurring fragments of what we attempt to bring with us. \n\n\n\nlossy is a warped ritual of transcendence. it is a carefree conjuring of a shiny new future “us”\, and a collective grieving for what the future may no longer hold\, once we finally arrive. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLed by artistic co-directors Lisa Mariko Gelley and Josh Martin\, Company 605 is an arts organization based in Vancouver\, on the traditional\, unceded territories of the Musqueam\, Squamish\, and Tsleil-Waututh First Nations. Producing various dance projects and performances through shared creative process\, the artists place emphasis on rigorous choreographic propositions and movement exploration – juxtaposing raw with precision\, and highlighting effort\, risk and interconnection. \n\n\n\n605 is an ongoing exchange between separate people\, bodies and ideas\, with each project seeking and celebrating the unique possibilities created in their attempt to co-exist. Valuing collaboration as a critical path for new directions in dance\, Company 605 continues to transform and build on an ever-evolving aesthetic\, with multiple choreographic voices in pursuit of an embodied art form derived from the human experience. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event is organized by:
