2. In and Out and In-between
Meghan Bruni |
This piece explores the ambiguities of love relationships: the conflict, fear and uncertainty that comes with decisions around commitment. How does one negotiate the push and pull of conflicting emotions? How does one trust their decision to stay or go? |
|
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. |

4. Fate's Nightmare
Sofia Farkona Seth Martiniuk |
Fate and an unnamed man battle for control in a dynamic struggle for the freewill and destiny of all mankind. |
|
5. Tell Me Who You Are
Rose Kain Molly McGregor |
Rose and Molly have written a song about self discovery. The song explores the questions we ask ourselves when we are changing and growing and checking in with who we are. |
|
6. Sibling Rivalry
Eric Liu Mugabi |
Sometimes your brother is just so annoying with his stupid toy that you just have to go over and take it. Not even because you want it or anything, but just so that he doesn't have it to throw up and down and up and down and just so that he'll stop! |

7. NO ONE HAS TOLD US YET

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. |

9. Bookworm Wanderer
Tammy Beattie |
Engage and delight in an ordinary afternoon of exploration. Be inspired by playful, colorful, and textured movement; a winding and wondering into the world. |
|
10. A New Day
Dancers: Pablo Perez, Alina Kouvchinova (afternoon showing) Laura Whitney- Sniderman (evening showing) Musicians: Noa Hass Kevin Nishri |
Captured within the whispers of a melody, and serenaded by the sound, these imagined bodies express the story untold."

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. |

12. knot.right.now
Dancer: Louis Barbier Musician: Jennifer Gillmor |
Flowing, floating through vague life waves. Performing twists and turns in tangles of the four directions. Spheres of influence gladly gliding, guiding unforeseen movements |
