imgx: Installation Dance & Art

A New Initiative

IMGX - Installation Dance and Art is a live/broadcast dance performance event and an installation art piece. It is a joining of dance and visual arts, and a reimagining of the dance experience. I am working in collaboration with The Dance Centre, Crossmaneuver and PHT Creative Hub Cooperative. The IMGX concept allows the viewer to enter into the world of the dance piece and experience the performance while moving through the different spaces of the second floor of the Presentation House Theatre, the former North Vancouver Museum. There will be at least two dance pieces and some art pieces in the show. The dances are Present in Absence and Hearts of Cloth. They will be shown both live and on video. The art installed will relate to these two works. The videos of the dances will be screened as part of the Digital Dance Fall programming at the Dance Centre as well as in April during a live broadcast from the Presentation House Theatre.

Hearts of Cloth

This dance piece follows an artist's journey from confinement through chaos to calm. The process takes dance and art that was created at home during the pandemic, inside the (Covid) safe shelter of the studio and theatre. The resulting digital performance incorporates an emergent process of experimentation with video and art installation.


I took the seeds of the ideas for a dance piece in July from my home to the Dance Centre as BC was reopening. While adapting the choreography in a different space, I revisit my curiosity for using visual arts lenses for dance. The string and suspended objects I use, create optical and physical differences in the dance studio. I brought fabric from my projects at home, inspired by installation pieces I had been a part of in Arnhem, Netherlands. Influenced by love for the use of fabrics in many dance forms, I am in awe of the beautiful traditions and stories that breathe life into cloth. In my personal history, ballet is foundational and it is the language of the tutu that fascinates me for some time now. I have included a deconstructed tutu in this piece, otherwise known as seven yards of tulle. The tutu is a perfect partner in dancing my story. The tulle represents the unravelled dreams I experienced during a profound loss of mobility and yet equally my hopes and dreams for the future.

Kay and Virginia launched their collective on September 11th, 2020.

We are connected by a shared history of performance in interdisciplinary and site-specific works during our time working together with the Karen Jamieson Dance Company. We started co-teaching in 2019 and began to learn about each other's current practice. Our collective emerged to practice experimentation in dance while remaining connected to our deeply valued principles of learning and movement formation. Creative process is central to the work and values we share with our students and program participants. Using the guiding principles of collaboration, play, exploration and experimentation, we are developing works that aim to portray the heart of the artist.
