In collaboration with Vancouver Street Dance Association
Presented in Partnership with The Dance Centre
Join us in celebrating local and national street dance artists and their endeavours into movement-on-screen.
This is a retrospective screening of street dance-centred films that have screened at FORM over the past 10 years. Each film creatively explores the unique ways that street dances such as hip hop, locking, w*acking, and breaking can interact with the camera. These films act as a living archive of street dance in Canada, commemorating the culture and people who shape the community.
RELINQ inverses the relationship between dance and music. Sounds created by dancers have been warped and molded to produce a piece of music led by dancers, rather than a dance piece led by music. Through this mixture of movement and sound, Relinq captures the unfiltered energy of the Session and offers it to the viewer without external interference.
Through the viewfinder of a camera, the audience is invited to experience the session as a dancer, a spectator, and a fly on the wall.
