WHo we are

Subscura is a collective of multidisciplinary performance artists founded in 2014 on the unceded traditional territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations, Vancouver British Columbia. Subscura has created works for inner city events, community workshops, dance festivals, and music festival stages across Canada and abroad. Their work is thought-provoking, playfully interactive and awe-inspiring; using contemporary dance, immersive performances, roving acts in site specific locations, circus arts, theater, and improvisation to tell their stories. The artists highlight the swing of agony and bliss, cathartic releases, and the cycles of life, death, and rebirth. Subscura performs for expression, connection, and profound shared moments; bidding for wider perspectives, deeper understanding and new realities. Working together for over 10 years, Subscura continues to evolve as performers and as a collective, thoughtfully creating diverse and engaging movement art.
