Tredecim
CANCELED
In concern of the health and safety of our students, faculty, and staff, as well as the public well-being during the coronavirus pandemic, we're regretfully canceling Tredecim, the 2020 Spring Mainstage Dance Show. We would like to thank everyone involved for their hard work, especially our guest choreographers Natalie Tin Yin Gan, Milton Lim, and Remy Siu (Hong Kong Exile), Anya Saugstad, and Alvin Erasga Tolentino.
Stay safe, everyone.

Anya Saugstad is a dancer and choreographer from Vancouver Canada. Anya trained at ArtsUmbrella, and at Simon Fraser University where she received a BFA in dance. Anya has danced professionally with Inverso Productions, and apprenticed with Action at a Distance, and with the response. Through her own choreographic work Anya aims to create intimate, and chaotic worlds using dance, sound, set, costume, and light. Anya is currently working towards a full length dance work, about the double life we often live between failure and success. She works closely with musical composer Stefan Nazerevich, and a collective of performers including Daria Mikhaylyuk, Eowynn Enquist, Katarina Nesic, Maddy Gilbert, and Shion Skye Carter. Her process physically and visually tries to answer questions about who we are as complicated beings, and aims to access and express our untamed selves. Anyas work has been shown through Vines Art Festival, Simon Fraser University, BLOOM, BoomBox, Dance Cafe, and F-O-R-M Film Festival, among others. www.anyasaugstad.com
