Starting with the idea of creating a concert for cows, Artistic Director of Mile Zero Dance Gerry Morita will create new work that returns to her rural roots to explore movement and images that involve animals, the land, and the infinite impossibility of ever finishing work.

Gerry Morita (BA Dance/ MFA Theatre) has lived and worked in Vancouver, Montréal, and Tokyo as a dancer, choreographer, performance artist and teacher before moving to Edmonton and becoming Mile Zero Dance’s Artistic Director in 2006. Her work has toured Poland, Turkey, Estonia, Canada, and Japan.  

Morita’s body of work involves continuous inquiry into new ways of seeing movement, the body, and the spaces between us. She studies and teaches contact improvisation, Noguchi Taiso and other somatic-based and improving technique, working with artists from all disciplines in a vast array of both conventional and site-specific venues. She has received the Mayor’s Award for Innovation in Artistic Direction, the Edmonton Salute for Excellence, Edmonton Artists’ Trust Fund and was one of Alberta’s 25 Influential Artists recognized in 2016.


Kasie Campbell is a visual artist from Grande Prairie, Alberta working out of Edmonton, AB. Campbell focuses on integrating a variety of media, including sculpture, photography, and installation with performative means. In 2015, Campbell won the Outstanding Student Achievement Award in Contemporary Sculpture. Her work was sent to Grounds for Sculpture South of NYC. The work then travelled for almost two years visiting Mana Contemporary in Hamilton NJ and then Mana Contemporary in Chicago IL. 2016-2017 Campbell was the Edmonton Arts Council’s Artist in Residence. Her role was to engage with staff in hopes of bridging the gap between art and everyday life. Two of the sculptures that were created in her residency were installed in Borden Park in Edmonton, AB as part of the 2nd iteration of the Borden Park Temporary Sculpture Loan Program. In summer 2017, Campbell showed Inside and Out in the Works Art and Design Festival. Inside and Out is a performative installation using large scale sculptural space and women's nylons to address the anxieties and vulnerabilities felt when the artist becomes the object of someone's gaze. 2018, Campbell had two works displayed at the Art Gallery of Grande Prairie for the GPRC Alumni show. More recently, Campbell and (late) mother, Ginette Lund shared their work Matrilineal Threads in The Works Art and Design Festival (supported by the Edmonton Arts Council). Interested in fostering matrilineal making, Campbell and her daughter were commissioned by the Mitchell Art Gallery to create large-scale work on the outside gallery wall. From 2019-2021, Campbell and her mother, Ginette Lunds collaborative work will tour with the Alberta Foundation for the Arts TREX Program through the Art Gallery of Alberta.

​Napoli

Choreographed by: Rosanna Terracciano
Performers: Rosanna Terracciano with Vincenzo Terracciano (on film)
Project Length: 15 minutes
Napoli explores a duet between Terracciano (performing live) and her dad (projected on video), propelled by the interplay in language and gesture between Naples and southern Spain. It forms part of a trilogy of solos (currently in development), where Terracciano takes hold of three cities with significant personal and professional impact — Napoli, Calgary, Sevilla — including commissioned works by Montreal's Myriam Allard and Barcelona's Juan Carlos Lérida.
Rosanna Terracciano experiments within and around the boundaries of flamenco, dance, contemporary performance and short film, driven by an urgency to expose the vulnerable and introverted aspects of flamenco dance. Her work has been presented throughout Canada and Europe, including: performances of her solo works at the Bienal de Flamenco (Seville), Coetani Experimental Flamenco Festival (Athens), Flamenco Empirico (Barcelona), Expanse Festival (Edmonton), Fluid Festival (Calgary) and an intimate studio tour to Berlin, London and Vienna; and film screenings at the Âjagemô art space at the Canada Council for the Arts (Ottawa), Reeling Dance on Screen (Edmonton), Prairie Tales (Alberta), Gallery of Alberta Media Arts (Calgary), Festival of Recorded Movement's Moving/Forward (Canada tour), Festival of Flamenco Short Films (Madrid/Brazil), Athens Video Dance Project (Greece) and the Breaking Boundaries in Flamenco Symposium at Oberlin College (Ohio). Her writing has been published in The Dance Current online, and she has participated in individual creation residencies at The Banff Centre, Dancers' Studio West (Calgary) and Studio Pleamar (Montreal). In 2018, she began the ongoing online short film project, a quiet flamenco (http://www.aquietflamenco.com). Most recently, in 2019, she was invited to the Dusseldorf Flamenco Festival to lead workshops and to participate as a dancer in a new research/creation project led by Barcelona-based Juan Carlos Lérida. She is the 2017 recipient of the Jacqueline Lemieux Prize for dance from the Canada Council for the Arts. http://www.rosannaflamenco.com

It Began with Watching

It began with watching, a dance theatre work by kloetzel&co., explores the transformation of democracy as ‘alternative facts’ and outlandish acts populate the political landscape. Through sardonic interactions, blunt physicality, and a brutally humorous text, the work exposes the alarming possibilities that arise as governments, concentrated wealth, and surveillance technologies join forces. A droplet of intelligence here, a hint of a shadowy figure, and we are all marionettes, putty in the puppet master’s hands. ​
Melanie Kloetzel is the artistic director of kloetzel&co., a dance theatre company founded in New York and now based in Calgary. Since 1997, kloetzel&co.has presented theatre works, site-specific performances, and dance films across three continents.

Her works have also been presented in more conventional sites such as New York’s Danspace Project at St. Mark’s Church and Movement Research at Judson Church, as well as at On the Boards in Seattle, Dusk Dances in Toronto, and The House Theatre in Plymouth, UK. Kloetzel’s film works have been selected for screening at such festivals as DANSCAMDANSE Festival (Belgium), ADF’s International Screendance Festival (USA), Danca em Foco Festival (Brazil), dance: made in canada festival (Canada), Festival Internacional de Videodanza (Uruguay), and through TenduTV’s well-known Essential Dance Films series (USA). Kloetzel has been fortunate to serve as an Artist-in-Residence at The Work Room at Tramway (Glasgow, UK), the Banff Centre for the Arts (Canada), The Choreographers’ Project (Philadelphia, USA), Southside Studios (Glasgow, UK), and the 92ndStreet Y Harkness Dance Center (NYC, USA), among others. Her research has been published in many peer-reviewed journals and anthologies and her own anthology, Site Dance: Choreographers and the Lure of Alternative Spaces, edited with Carolyn Pavlik, is currently available in hard cover, paperback, and as an eBook from the University Press of Florida.Kloetzel is an associate professor of dance at the University of Calgary. www.kloetzelandco.com

Ms. Michalsky is an independent dance artist residing in Calgary, Alberta. She completed her BA in Contemporary Dance, with a concentration in Choreography and Performance, at the University of Calgary. She is the co-creator of Project InTandem and YYC Contemporary Technique Training, two programs that offer support and opportunities to emerging artists in Calgary. She was awarded the 2019 RBC Emerging Artist Award at the Mayor’s Lunch for Arts Champions - she is the first Dancer/Choreographer to receive this award. Michalsky has worked with an array of artists, including Dancer Studio West, Linnea Swan, Davida Monk, Cloudsway Dance Theatre, kloetzel&co, Dancing Monkey Laboratories, Peggy Baker Dance Projects, and J-Sik Movements, amongst others. Her most recent choreographic works have been presented at Fluid Festival, Annual Alberta Dance Festival, Project InTandem, Convergence, and abroad in Helsinki, Finland. Her supplementary knowledge in Hip-Hop and Krump movement principles has influenced her to highlight isolated, rhythmic, bound, and fast-twitch movement qualities into her contemporary choreographies. Currently, her work focuses on primal movement aesthetics, exploring the power of the female body through a state of nature (not tamed or domesticated).
