Eric Cheung: Contra at Scotiabank Dance Centre

Choreographer and interdisciplinary artist Eric Cheung premieres his debut full-length work, Contra. Set within an ethereal world, Contra merges dance with interactive technologies, sculpting multi-laser projections and a sound-resonant water installation into an ever-changing environment.

Bringing together an exceptional group of artists and collaborators from diverse disciplines, the work features three distinct performers—Kinui Oiwa, Tegvaran Sooch, and Eric Cheung—whose backgrounds span Ballet, Contemporary, Street Dance, and abstract movement forms. Together, they craft singular characters that evolve through shifting layers of noise and precise low frequencies composed by Matthew Tomkinson.

Presented through The Dance Centre’s Iris Garland Emerging Choreographer Award.
