Action at a Distance is a contemporary dance company located on the ancestral and unceded territories of the Coast Salish peoples. The Vancouver-based company is directed by choreographer Vanessa Goodman, a woman and mother who shares her experiences through physical, visual and sonic practices, focusing on creating experiential generative systems to build immersive environments. Action at a Distance is inspired by artistic collaboration across multiple disciplines and creates works that facilitate engrossing experiences for those who engage with them. With each project, an inclusive dialogue is fostered with the community through open studio showings, workshops, and discussions surrounding the work. Goodman believes that performance is only made possible by those who witness it, and the company views the audience as the final collaborator in each project. Since Goodman became Artistic Director, the company’s work has been presented across Canada, the US, Europe, the UK, and South America
