Love seeing projects where different people from our community collaborate with one another, especially when it involves such a variety of disciplines. Vancouver-based dance company, OURO Collective, are currently working on a new show called SOTTO 51, which focuses on lost or forgotten histories. More specifically, they’re investigating Block 51, 61, and 71 in Vancouver, more commonly known as Robson Square, the Vancouver Art Gallery and the Provincial Law Courts, all of which exist on unceded Coast Salish territory (land that First Nations people never surrendered or legally signed away to the Crown or to Canada).

I went to Robson Square and filmed a bit of their creation process (all the dancers were in the same social bubble at the time and this was before recent COVID restrictions were put in place).
