Hey! In case anyone feels like coming up for a visit... or perhaps, competing? (Deadline for entry Nov. 21)
City of Bhangra
VIBC 2006 will feature events celebrating Bhangra and Punjabi culture throughout downtown Vancouver. Out-of-town competitors and local residents will experience firsthand the joy and exuberance of Bhangra through dance demonstrations, intimate concerts, and interactive discussion forums.
Vancouver has long been a breeding ground for some of the greatest Bhangra talent in the world. This January we bring Bhangra to the forefront and place it in a forum for all to enjoy!
Proposed events
Some tentative events for the Vancouver International Bhangra Celebration include:
-An art exhibit of original work by local artists
-Discussion forums on topics surrounding Bhangra technique,
-Bhangra in the Diaspora, and Bhangra in pop culture
-Dance demonstrations by local Bhangra dance schools
-Concerts featuring local Bhangra and fusion artists
The Competition
The Vancouver International Bhangra Celebration will conclude with the anticipated finale event, the VIBC Competition on Saturday, January 21st, 2006. On this night, 10 international teams will mount the stage of Vancouver's largest theater venue, the Queen Elizabeth Theater. As the largest and most robust venue in Vancouver, it is home to only the largest Broadway productions and theater events. On this night, the Queen Elizabeth will be home to Vancouver's premiere Bhangra event as almost 3,000 local and international attendees watch intently as the most talented Bhangra teams compete for prestige and the $5,000 grand prize.
