1. Contango
Choreography: Proud Foot Forward Dancers: Thomas Davidson Jonathan Neville Olivia Proudfoot |
When tango meets contact improvisation, time twists and bodies entwine. |
3. The Squeaky Chair
Stefan Alexander |
The squeaky chair is a piece of furniture, from my childhood, that brought my family together in love and laughter. It is the memory of things that have passed, or irrevocably changed, and the bittersweet nostalgia that haunts me. It is innocence lost, and wisdom gained. It is joyful celebration, and regretful disappointment. It is holding my painful feelings tightly like a martyr, and letting go, forgiving myself and others, in willing acceptance. |
8. Dissidence
Choreography: Pablo Perez Dancers: James Boston Molly McGregor Noa Hass Kevin Meixner Chris Ramkhelawan Vlad Lyvka |
This is an awareness piece about addiction and the impacts it has on those affected and their loved ones. Using interpretive dance and the timeless lyrics of Leonard Cohen, it explores the “unknowns” of addiction. This piece is dedicated to all those who have succumbed to addiction, have had their lives touched by addiction, are currently fighting, or in recovery…
A common narrative, distorted and true, one that would be followed through, one way, or another. Witness the space and everything in-between. |
11. Spirit of Trees
Dancers: Stefan Alexander Alejandro Fernandez-Diaz Laura Friedman Elisa Hollenberg Richard Kwan Agnieszka Wec Original Musical Score: Kristin Lindell F-erenc Szabo |
Toronto is known as “a city within a park”. City dwellers take solace in connecting with nature through the ravines, parks and trees. This piece drew direct inspiration by dancing among the trees in High Park to sense their stillness, grace and movement. This piece was developed in Fall 2015 and re-mounted for this show. |
