Drawing on the classic 'Drive In Movie' experience, we have set up a stage at a local parking lot and the artists will perform LIVE! Imagine—safely distanced, live performance from the comfort of your own vehicle!
=0D=0A=No concessions are sold, please bring your own snacks and water (go to Gina’s for 10% off take out as a festival guest!) Please stay in your vehicle at all times except to use the washroom. Cars are asked to arrive first, and will be guided in to park 30 minutes prior to show time (8:30PM). Vans and trucks are parked next, 15 minutes prior to show time (8:45PM). Vans and trucks that arrive early will be placed in a holding lot until their designated parking time. Latecomers will be parked, however sightlines may be affected.

=0D=0A=UNTITLEdISTANCE is a duet about Arash and Emmalena, two dancers based in Vancouver who grew up far from here and far from each other. Through their encounter, they tell stories from the past to illuminate their possible imagined individual and collective futures. They entertain, inquire, and provoke as they move through universal themes such as togetherness, aging, and love to those more arrestingly contemporary such as our rapidly changing climates and migration. What is it that links this wild range of themes? Us. Through questions, answers, and attempts to understand this moment in time, Arash and Emma bring humanness to the foreground in far-reaching dances of seriousness and silliness, madness, and hope.
