OUROFEST at OURO Collective

OURO Collective celebrates its 10th anniversary with the inaugural biennial OUROFEST from May 25–28, 2024 at SFU Goldcorp Centre for the Arts, Robson Square, and Q7 Studios. The four-day street dance festival features dance battles and performances by local, national, and youth artists — open to all by donation.

Performances will feature Vancouver-based artists Diamonds in the Rough and OURO Collective (featuring Ash “Complex” Cornette, Cristina Bucci, Eric Cheung, Ganna Martynova, Kinui Oiwa, and Rina Pellerin), Montreal-based artist M Queen, and Surrey-based youth street dance artist Tegvaran “Teg” Sooch.
