DanceHouse and Vancouver New Music present Stephanie Lake Company’s 'Manifesto' at Vancouver Playhouse

DanceHouse and Vancouver New Music present the BC Premiere of Australia’s Stephanie Lake Company’s Manifesto, April 16 to 18, 2026, at 8pm at the Vancouver Playhouse. In a unique pairing, nine drummers and nine dancers—with backgrounds ranging from contemporary and ballet to salsa and hip hop, from jazz and metal to classical and experimental—will share the stage for this explosive full-length performance, summoning a cacophonic wall of sound composed by experimental music composer Robin Fox. Drawing inspiration from the primal connection between drumming and dance, the artists channel the glittering energy of old-time Hollywood extravaganzas for a tightly crafted and thrilling work that audiences will feel in their gut.
