The Dancing on the Edge Festival of Contemporary Dance Returns for its 35th Landmark Year, July 6 to 15, 2023
One of the most eagerly anticipated events in British Columbia’s contemporary dance scene, the 35th anniversary of the Dancing on the Edge Festival will kick off on July 6, delivering high calibre, challenging and gorgeous dance. The festival will deliver innovative and spell-binding works featuring World Premieres, North American and Western Canadian debuts, and works-in-progress from some of the most sought-after contemporary choreographers.
In celebration of our 35th Annual DOTE, the festival will include a presentation of over thirty extraordinary dance productions in live stage performances showcasing artists from across Canada. Located on the Edge of the Pacific, we are celebrating the waves of motion created by the countless number of creative artists who have been in the festival over its 35 years. Starting as ripples and returning to the shore as waves in full force they have helped build and sustain Canada’s oldest professional contemporary dance festival.
