Source Amnesia
Malfunctioning Memory, Fake News, and Truth vs Fiction explored in Joshua Beamish/ MOVETHECOMPANY’S World Premiere of Source Amnesia. Five Vancouver-based contemporary dance artists navigate an ever-shifting reality in our age of misinformation and information manipulation.
Joshua Beamish/MOVETHECOMPANY presents Source Amnesia, a timely exploration of false memory and the fragility of truth, January 20 & 21, 2023 at 8pm at the Timms Centre, presented by the Brian Webb Dance Company. Born out of choreographer Joshua Beamish’s fascination with memory confusion and manipulation, this 70-minute work will explore pertinent and critical themes of misinformation, fake news, memory loss, and truth in a production perfectly poised for this moment in history.

“Source Amnesia moves from a quiet start into a demanding fast paced choreography.. The pulsing beat accentuates the crisp movements.”
