ID: A dark poster image of "Phenomena" shows a dance performance on a group stage. Performers emit a radiating blue and green light as they reach their arms towards one another, one dancer crouches towards the other who leans backwards. A wheelchair dancer and 4th dancer in the background spin around. Below in white and bold text reads "All Bodies Dance Project presents Phenomena, a celebration of inclusive contemporary dance. December 3-5 from Thursday to Friday." A QR code for "tickets here" rests on bottom right corner. Details are in written description.
PHENOMENA
December 3 - 5, 2026
At Roundhouse Performance Centre
A celebration of inclusive contemporary dance, December 3–5, 2026, at the Roundhouse Performance Centre.
VANCOUVER, BC — This December, All Bodies Dance Project presents PHENOMENA, a radically inclusive production bringing together a diverse, intergenerational cast of performers with and without disabilities. Opening December 3 on the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, this dynamic program celebrates difference, challenges expectations, and showcases the breadth of the company’s innovative artistic practice.
Taking its title from the philosophical understanding of a phenomenon as something perceivable only through the senses, PHENOMENA invites audiences to discover new ways of seeing, feeling, and experiencing dance—and one another. From the intimate gaze of the dancefilm Glimpse to the emerging voices of Emerge. Engage. Entwine, the dreamlike world of flurry, and the collective patterns of labyrinth, each work explores connection, difference, and the extraordinary possibilities of being human.
