Dusk Dances at Fort York
Is PRESENTED BY On Common Ground 2014

 

HOSTED BY DAN WATSON

La vie

Choreographed by SYlvie Bouchard

Performed by Mairéad Filgate.

La vie is a glimpse into a treasure that disappears in the blink of an eye.
It's a path forward, letting the past settle, and moving towards the unknown,
not without fear, but with willing eyes.
The terrains of our lives vary from rivers, to meadows, to mountains,
but the pounding of our own heart is something
we should always remember to trust.

Premieres this year at Dusk Dances 2014.

Unquiet Winds

Choreographed by Denise Fujiwara

Performed by Sylvie Bouchard and Brendan Wyatt

Unquiet Winds was inspired by medieval Japanese and European love poems. Its creation employs principles of Japanese Butoh dance.

I saw a girl under green laurel
Colder and whiter than the snow
Untouched by the sun for many years
”.
Francesco Petrarch

Imperceptible
It withers in the world
This flower-like human heart
.”
Komachi

Once upon a time, in a not so distant past, there was a village,
