Hello!
Thank you for visiting our Website!
We'd like to introduce ourselves. Our names are Sophia and Josh. We will be your Artists in Communities for the 2023 year. Through this program, the city of Vancouver hosts artist residencies each year in participating community centres to support artists working in neighbourhoods and encourage a wide variety of interactions between artists and residents.
Artists collaborate with community members (who may not see themselves as artists) as creators, producers, performers, and active audiences. The residency projects leave lasting physical or social legacies in the community, such as learning new creative processes, developing collaborative skills, creating an artwork. Sophia and Josh cherish and practice a wide variety of artistic forms and mediums but have a particular affinity for artistic movement. As practitioners of a wide variety of Street, Club, Cultural, and Contemporary movement forms and dance styles, we invite you to join us as we move together in shared space and intention throughout our residency.
We will primarily be working out of West End Community Centre along with the Coal Harbour Community Centre and Barclay Manor. We greatly look forward to connecting with each and every one of you over the course of this residency through a variety of in person classes, artistic space building, community gatherings and social events, performances, community discussions and talkbacks, and much, much more.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to reach out to us by email at aicmovetogether@gmail.com! We're always down to hear from you, take your suggestions, answer any questions you may have about our program and how we can all be in community together.
We looking forward to seeing you around the West End Community Centre, Coal Harbour Community Centre, and Barclay Manor!
Peace! See you later!
- Sophia & Josh
