MASCALLDANCE LOOKING AHEAD 2026- 2027
Since 2022 Body Proof has invited dancers to research ancestry and social dance, it is an ongoing research project. Through this experimental program, participants will be examining cultural legacy and artistic identity
Led by Kelly McInnes and Jennifer Mascall, presented in partnership with Heart of the City Festival
Water is life. MascallDance presents a rain or shine, all-age workshop honouring, exploring, and celebrating water, with stories, knowledge, and water practices from community stewards of water. Nov 7 1-3pm at Crab Park
“Slow down with us at the Salish Sea
Listen at the shoreline
Be moved by majesty
Shape a way to honour her
Dance a blessing out to sea”
Workshop leader Kelly McInnes
Bring friends and family along! Spend a Saturday afternoon exploring the element of water, singing, painting, drawing, dancing, storytelling, playing, laughing, crying, and exchanging water knowledge past, present, and future. Together we'll honour the water.
Advance your creative practice with Somatic Camp. Somatic camp is an immersive gathering where people explore movement through bodily awareness rather than performance. It focuses on slow attentive practices, reflection, and shared inquiry, creating space for participants to listen to their bodies, move with intention, and learn together without the pressure of producing a finished work.

Mascall Dance's BLOOM is a unique event combining dance, wine, and comedy over three nights at Left of Main, located in Historic Chinatown. The event features choreographers in residence presenting their works-in-progress. Each dance is thoughtfully paired with a wine that matches the choreographer's description of their piece, and a comedian then interprets each dance for the audience, adding a layer of humor. Attendees get to enjoy the performances along with a selection of wines.
A dancer and a concert pianist pull up to your front door and present you a five-minute dance accompanied by Beethoven’s Waldstein Sonata, played for you live on the back of a pick up truck. We dance in all sorts of outdoor settings, needing only a space to move and a parking space where you and your friends, guests, and neighbourhood can see us.
We're on the lookout for front yards, back yards, apartments, co-ops, and other homes to perform at in July and August. Gather some neighbours, friends, and watch on for our five minute dance accompanied by Concert pianist.
7PM Thursday March 26, Friday March 27, Saturday March 28 at Left of Main.
Three co-founders talk about the beginnings of EDAM.

Four classes in performance with Jennifer Mascall
on Wednesday afternoons, 1-4PM March 4, March 11, March 18, and April 1, 2025
at left of main, 211 Keefer Street, Vancouver, upstairs.
Blending anatomical investigation with embodied expression, these sessions explore how the images we carry within us shape the field around us.
Through movement, awareness, and inquiry, we’ll examine how internal landscapes translate into presence, perception, and performance.
