Winter’s Dance #onRobson returns this holiday season

Mixed reality dance and interactive light installations take over Bute Robson Plaza featuring dance performances and interactive light installations inspired by Tchaikovsky classics.  

Winter’s Dance #onRobson is a whimsical, urban ballet combining live and digital dance.

Join us as we transform Bute Robson Plaza into a “Snowflake Winter Wonderland” to create an innovative public space experience using large projections, virtual reality, a mash-up musical score with a truly unique lighting design by Dotdot Productions (featured at 2019’s Burning Man).

Small Stage dancers take inspiration from the iconic music of Tchaikovsky.  The Nutcracker - Sugar Plum Fairy and the Nutcracker, Sleeping Beauty - The Bluebird Variation and Swan Lake - The Little Swans.
