Through SOTTO 51, we research, remember, and celebrate Robson Square, the Vancouver Art Gallery, šxʷƛ̓ənəq Xwtl’e7énḵ Square and Provincial Law Courts–an area of the unceded Coast Salish territory and the City of Vancouver.
Through SOTTO 51, we research, remember, and celebrate Block 51, 61, and 71, commonly known as Robson Square, the Vancouver Art Gallery, šxʷƛ̓ənəq Xwtl’e7énḵ Square and Provincial Law Courts–an area of the unceded Coast Salish territory that is significant to the street dance community and personally to OURO members.
With SOTTO 51 we are considering how changes in our urban landscape affect personal memory and cultural amnesia, and how an erased past affects future generations. Our research started with the Indigenous history of Robson Square (through consultation from the Aboriginal Programs at Emily Carr University of Art + Design), followed by the history of the colonial site that Robson Square represents to the present day and also looking at what the future holds for the site, with interviews with Barry Johns of the Arthur Erickson Foundation and various dancers and members of the local community.
Research for SOTTO 51 started in the spring of 2019 and took place in 5 creation phases which culminated into 3 acts:
Act 1: Creating and dancing in a community space is unlike any other. During phase 1 we explored how an open public space, such as Robson Square and its surroundings can inform choreography.
Act 2: The history of the space/architecture and architect, Arthur Erickson, informs our choreography and introduces themes of opposition, playing with shadow in reference to the building’s original design, working with inversion, inclination, and support as the change in power in the government transforms the building’s redesign.
Act 3: Robson Square has forever been a central hub for gathering. Our choreography explores themes of group mentality and connection as we reflect on past celebrations and protests that have taken place in the area.
