TransFusion

Co-presented by the Vancouver 2010 Cultural Olympiad, TransFusion brings an eclectic blend of contemporary and traditional folk dance styles together in this unique dance production. Set in the multimedia den of light and sound, the footwork and visuals span the subcontinent of India, reaching as far north as Trinidad and Japan, blurring the borders between cultures as well as folk, classical and contemporary music and dance.

TransFusion will feature unique pairings between Kathak, Butoh, Dancehall, Bollywood, Bhangra, Rajasthani, Bharatnatyam, Odissi and more in a 90-minute presentation of folk dances from around the world.
