I noticed this group was performing in Vancouver, and I was curious if anyone saw any of their performances. And if so, what they thought about it.

Wow. I wish I could have gone to see this.
Here is the overview:
Alleluia: Dances of the Fourth Way Dervishes
Witness a demonstration of rarely seen movements and music.
From contemplative moving meditations to fiercely energetic dervish dances,
these movements spring from living sources of ancient traditions,
both East and West.
The program includes extraordinary forms of dancing meditations as well as a selection
of treasured movements from the Gurdjieff legacy, carried forward to these times both
as moving prayers and as a unique practice invigorating the inner striving to know oneself
and cultivating the integration of body, heart, and mind.
With the accompanying piano compositions of Gurdjieff / De Hartmann, these sacred dances
embody a living teaching - timeless, eternally precious and still unexpectedly fresh
- morning dew on ancient earth.
I also found this on the site which I really liked, and I think others here will appreciate:
similar but not
a flock, herd, tribe, school,
not birds not buffaloes not monkeys not fishes
but similar
each recognizing each
choosing to group with others of the same intent
independent, individually choosing
vigorous and determined inner effort
to swim together
with congruent aims and aspirations
striving forward towards awakening
as individuals, as a group
principles and standards in common
upstream away from comfort, away from personal desires, against the habits of sleep
in the same direction
sensitized to the same gravitational pull
choreographed in synchronous harmony
by recognition of simple Truths and invisible Love of the Work
gifted with teachings and guidance
inspired by guileless innocence and potent wisdom
newborns, children, teens, renunciant singles, dedicated householders, experienced elders
striving upstream towards the same destination
common threads of daily inner efforts, self study, self knowledge, transformation of negative emotions,
three centered integration, virtuous intent, right action
not a church, though prayer and reverence happen daily
not activists, but actively studying the true nature of the game and the current state of the planet
not “Hippies” but hip to right livelihood and an ethically sound and sustainable existence
not devotees, but very devoted
music, movement, meditation, artfulness in many media, satire, soccer, and sailing
homesteading, homeschooling and hard physical work
over time, new faces, new places, activities change and adapt
the core remains the same.
