Ashes on the Water is an invitation info a sensory landscape of words, movement, breath and song. A podplay/site-specific dance piece unearths the story of two women divided by culture and the waters of the Burrard inlet. The work charts their fateful meeting ignited by the Greater Vancouver Fire in 1886 and spurred on by a song’s desire to be born.
The podplay will guide the audience into the park (Crab Park at Portside) and to the water. Once in the park, audience members will experience a site-specific dance. The podplay casts a shadow on the inner and outer experience of the fire and the dance springs from this. Ashes on the Water is a collision of technology, memory, body and breath to tell a story inspired by the Squamish First Nation’s Women’s Paddle Song and the contribution the First Nations communities made during this moment in Vancouver’s history.
Podplays are site-specific radio plays that take participants on a walk through the geography of the city and urban obsessions and imaginings of the commissioned artists. Much like you would listen to an audio guide in a museum, audience members download the plays onto portable media players and are guided on a journey by narration that combines story, music and directional cues. This is an intimate theatrical experience that will reveal a Vancouver you will not find in the tourist brochures.
Created by Neworld Theatre and PTC

Ashes on the Water is part of PodPlays 125, an initiative created by Neworld Theatre and PTC. Ashes on the Water podplay was commissioned and developed by Neworld Theatre and PTC
