Festival Co-Directors Deanna + Victor were interviewed by Tessa Perkins Deneault for the Dance Central article, "New leadership and new directions for Vancouver dance institutions" about the transition in leadership at VIDF.
"We have a history of selling out our shows and creating a lot of social activities around performances. Those are things that we feel will really make the festival a celebration."
"I just see everything as an extension of my dance practice," says Peters. She explains that [her and Victor]... have learned to quickly switch hats from one role to another, from artist to administrator, from friend to co-director. "It’s similar to my practice in social dance," says Tran, "with leading and following— knowing how to do both, knowing how to switch while you dance."
