Collision is an interdisciplinary, multileveled dance production by Karen Jamieson Dance, reflective of Vancouver’s history. It is site specific to the Roundhouse, once the western terminus of the Canadian Pacific Railway and now a creative centre for people of all cultures and ages. Created by an extraordinary team of award winning Vancouver artists of varying disciplines, Collision collides professional contemporary dancers with multicultural and multigenerational community dancers, composers, photographers, filmmakers, designers and cultural figures. Collision explores the collisions of past and present and the historical collision of European and Asian immigrants and First Nations and their different relationships to the railway.

Using both creation and performance, Karen Jamieson uncovers a mythic, poetic language through dance; believing the power of contemporary dance transcends cultures, languages, histories and traditions by connecting us all at a very primal level.

Karen Jamieson Dance under the artistic direction of Karen Jamieson was formed in 1983. A winner of the Chalmers Award, Karen Jamieson has created over 84 original dance works with original scores by over 20 respected Canadian composers, performed in Canada, Europe, Japan and the United States. Her work, “Sisyphus” was named one of the 10 Canadian choreographic masterworks of the 20th century and multi-year projects with the Haida village of Skidegate BC and with the residents of Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside are recognized nationally as groundbreaking in the field of community engaged and cross cultural dance.
