about the show

SCINTILLATE verb
/ˈsin(t)əˌlāt/ 

To shimmer. To emit sparks. To astonish or impress with liveliness.

In a world that so often asks us to dim our light, the Company Class of 24/25 chooses to dazzle - bold, brilliant, and breathtaking. Scintillate is a celebration of the moments that make you feel alive, connected, and human. From glimmers of individuality to the euphoric glow of collective effervescence, these dancers show that they shine not in spite of the shadows, but because of them. 

Watch in wonder as sparks of unfiltered self-expression and colourful connection collide in solo debuts and group choreography by student artists. Come witness the shimmering spectrum of the human experience as it is refracted through movement, sound, and storytelling. 

Tickets go on sale this Thursday for Scintillate on May 22 + 23 at The Faris in the Scotiabank Dance Centre.

WE WISH TO ACKNOWLEDGE...

that we gratefully rehearsed for and are performing this show on the unceded territories of the Coast Salish Peoples, including the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), Stó:lō and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations, as well as the traditional territories of the Lkwungen (Lekwungen) speaking peoples, also known today as the Songhees, Esquimalt, and W̱SÁNEĆ First Nations. We are committed to working to decolonize our business, and acknowledging the land upon which we create is one of many steps.

WE ALSO WISH TO ACKNOWLEDGE... that dance is a part of culture, which involves and intersects with many histories, geographies, lived experiences, and generational inequalities. We dance to tell stories, which makes our modality a meaningful form of art that warrants respect and acknowledgment of its origins. Heels dance as an art is inspired and informed by cultures from the African diaspora, Latin American cultures, LGBTQ+ community culture, kink culture, and the sex work profession. As participants in and appreciators of these cultures, we are committed to dismantling the systems that seek to oppress them. We do so by examining our own biases, integrating diverse perspectives, investing back into these communities, continually educating ourselves, and creating a culture of accountability with our team, students, and advisors. We believe that by encouraging underrepresented voices and bodies to claim their space onstage and onscreen, we're contributing to building a world where everyone can shine.
