Heart Drive | Imre van Opstal and Marne van Opstal

The primal and electric Heart Drive returns to the Ballet BC stage for the first time since its world premiere in the 2022/23 season. Highly sought after, Dutch choreographic duo Imre and Marne van Opstal’s reputation has been skyrocketing ever since with commission after commission. In line with much of their buzzed-about work known for exploring human relationships, Heart Drive invites you to acknowledge the fundamental energies we all possess—energies which allow us to form bonds by entertaining our fantasies of love, commitment, and pleasure.

Cloud Poem | Pierre Pontvianne

French dancer and choreographer Pierre Pontvianne creates his first work for North American audiences. Winner of the 1999 Prix de Lausanne, Pontvianne held roles with Nederlands Dans Theater 2, Frankfurt Ballet, and Carte Blanche before founding his own company, PARC, in 2004. He has been an Associate Artist at the Atelier de Paris / CDCN since 2021 and works regularly on a variety of freelance choreographic projects. Known for defying genre and expectation with a deep commitment to all aspects of the creative process, his movement language is intimate and organic with a strong capacity for political resonance.
