16 + a room
- Choreography: Emily Molnar
- Lighting Design: Jordan Tuinman
- Costume Design: Kate Burrows
- Music: Dirk P. Haubrich
- Lighting Direction: James Proudfoot
Further info: Molnar’s '16 + a room' is inspired by the work of Virginia Woolf, Jeannette Winterson and Emily Dickinson. Sparked with explosive, fast-paced choreography that pushes the dancers to their athletic and technical limits, '16 + a room displays Molnar’s unique choreographic language through a complex study of time, transition and stillness.
16 + a room' received its world premiere for Ballet British Columbia in October 2013.
Solo Echo
- Choreography: Crystal Pite
- Lighting Design: Tom Visser

Further info: Inspired by two sonatas for cello and piano by Brahms and the poem ‘Lines for Winter’ by Mark Strand, Pite’s Solo Echo portrays a man coming to terms with himself at the end of his life as the choreographer explores recurring themes of acceptance and loss.
