In the past decade, Vancouver dance has received tremendous acclaim
nationally and internationally, as witnessed by the success of
choreographer Crystal Pite and a rejuvenated Ballet BC. But this is
only part of a vibrant and diverse story of contemporary movement
practices in the city. In My Vancouver Dance History Peter
Dickinson crafts an embodied narrative that focuses on his critical
and creative collaborations with nine Vancouver-based dance artists
and companies. Mixing interview excerpts with fieldwork
descriptions of studio research and performance analysis, Dickinson
draws on ten years of close observation to delve into the
individual histories of select members of this community, while
also relating the cumulative story of Vancouver dance production
and performance as it has unfolded in the past decade. The voices
of other invested participants interpolate this rich history, and
chapters are interspersed with a series of "movement intervals"
that reflect key moments in Dickinson's history as a spectator,
scholar, and collaborator. In innovative ways, Dickinson suggests
that when we pay attention to the larger social topography of dance
practice - the sites that give rise to it, the labour that goes
into it, and the professional friendships it engenders - we can
properly understand dance's contributions to civic life.
