OPENING BAND TOO NICE
Uno Dos Y Tres
Choreography by Carmen Romero
Performance: Carmen Romero
Live music performance: Stephanie Pedraza
Costumes: Patricia Cueva
Based on a poem by Manuel Benitez Carrasco from the 1920s, UNO DOS Y TRES is a visual metaphor of the internal conflicts we deal with in life. This physical and emotional work offers the audience a flamenco performance that goes beyond the traditional presentation, shifting audience expectations and demanding an open mind and heart.
A Dusk Dances premiere.
Alpha Compass
Choreography by Karissa Barry
Performance/Collaboration: Christoph von Riedemann
Music: Moonlight Sonata, Beethoven (slowed to 800%), M-theory text, True Detective, edited by Karissa Barry
Costumes: Karissa Barry
Original performance/collaboration: Scott Fowler
Alpha Compass is inspired by themes of solitude, mortality, ego, and the human response to change. Using the physics-based “M-Theory” as a creative influence, this solo explores physicality motivated by what our existence may mean when applied to multiple dimensions of time, grasping to reality and identity.
A Dusk Dances premiere.
Reversible Steps for Four
Choreography by MairÉad Filgate
Performance: Jaqui Brown (Aug 17-19), Jewell Cormier, Chrissy King (Aug 16), Ulana Romanish and Shelby Thoms of Simcoe Contemporary Dancers
Music: Clapping Music by Steve Reich, Close to Me by The Cure (edited by Mairéad Filgate)
Slipping in and out of recognizable patterns of order, the dancers propel through space, attempting to maintain precision and harmony with sound, space, and one another while engaging in a quickly changing series of collective tasks.
My heartfelt gratitude to the dancers who contributed their beautiful dancing, clever minds, and total enthusiasm to our process together. Many thanks too to Sarah Lochhead for the opportunity to create and present in my home town. This work has been adapted from the stage for its new outdoor forest setting. Made possible with the support of The City of Barrie, the Ontario Arts Council, and In Harmony Dance & Wellness.
