Rough Cuts: Cristina Bucci

One of the highlights during Dance Days is the opportunity to see new works-in-progress (a.k.a. Rough Cuts) by some of the west coast’s hottest dance artists and choreographers. All showings are followed by informal discussions where the artists answer your questions about the work that they’re creating. Rough Cut showings are free and accessible to the public, with donation suggested. Please join us on Sunday, January 26 at 3:30 pm to experience a 20 minute excerpt of Sisu, a work-in-progress by Dance Victoria Artist-in-Residence: Cristina Bucci. Immediately after the showing, you can enjoy a Q&A with the artists. Excerpt of Sisu 3:30 pm Sunday, January 26 Choreographer: Cristina Bucci Sisu, a Finnish word that deeply resonates with Cristina Bucci’s personal journey, is the driving force behind her inaugural solo work. This piece, which she both choreographs and performs, powerfully expresses her inner reserves of power, courage, determination, and strength of will. Sisu’s creation began in July 2023 through a residency at BC Movement Arts Society on Malcolm Island. Bucci is the co-founder of the Vancouver-based Ouro Collective.
