DANCE WITH PROXIES - spoken performance | Olivier Bosson with Fabien Pinaroli
An approximative reenactment of a performance initially created by François Lewyllie and Olivier Bosson at Mon Inouïe Symphonie Performance Festival (Dunkerque France).
Olivier Bosson and Fabien Pinaroli take you on an approximate journey to revisit the mysterious year 1979.

Book Launch | Fabien Pinaroli
Re: Towards a minor history of exhibitions and performances is a collection of textual and visual essays based on the exhibition Celebration of the Body organized by Ingrid and Iain Baxter (N. E. Thing Co.) in 1976 in Kingston, Canada, and its reactivation in 2012 in three acts: in Lyon, Saint-Fons and London, by Fabien Pinaroli et al. For more information on the book, please visit the readit.fr website. 
The launch of the book Re: Towards a minor history of exhibitions and performances is supported by the Canadian Cultural Centre in Paris.

FEMME5 | a collaborative performance initiated by Helen Pridmore with Johanna Bundon, Astrid Lloyd, ​Robin Poitras and Krista Solheim.
FEMME5 is a collaborative project borne of five female artists, inspired by sound, movement, matter and improvisation. For the Re: Celebrating the Body exhibition and Stream of Dance Festival, FEMME5 engages with Astrid Lloyd’s installation, Hammock (2015) in a series of interwoven sketches with movement improvisation and text, that acknowledges the women and feminine forces that have shaped their lives.

INTERLUDE 
Choreographed and Performed by Carleigh Macdonald and Natasha Molnar-Fluter
Based on the Alumni piece Now and Then, performed with the Youth Ballet Company of Saskatchewan (Fall 2017), Interlude is a reflection on the coming of age process. It explores the struggle of finding your confidence and discovering a sense of self, and celebrates the uncertainty of the transition to adulthood.

CALLING STONE 
Choreographed and Performed by Tina Bertoncini
​Calling Stone follows Give me the Taste of Earth, a sketch performed at NDH's 2015 Blueprint Series. These sketches are preliminary explorations into relationship with various earth forms. Soil was the working partner for Give me the Taste of Earth. Stone is the influence for this recent sketch Calling Stone. Both will be integrated into a larger work to be developed over the coming year.

WITH THIS SPIRIT 
​Choreographed and Performed by Karen Rose 
My choreography is inspired by the speech Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered during ‘The March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom,’ 
August 28, 1963.  It is referred to as the “I Have a Dream Speech.”
I have created and rehearsed to the sound of his words, allowing the vibration of his voice to generate the rhythm and pulse of my movement, my stillness and my breath. I honour the many people who these words have inspired to work for social justice. 
The licence to perform his speech has been granted by The Estate of Martin Luther King, Jr. and I am very grateful and blessed to have their full support. “We thank you so very much for seeking to honour Dr. King through your creative talents and wish you all the best.”   Dr. King’s  words are equally relevant, vital and powerful today as they were then. ​

FREDDY  (1991)
Choreographed by Rachel Browne, Performed by Robyn Thomson Kacki 
This solo dance originally created for Sharon Moore is performed to a series of satirical musical compositions, created in Germany between the two World Wars and capture the tone of social decadence that characterized these times.

LIBRETTO
Choreographed by Jennifer Mascall,
Performed by School of Contemporary Dancers' students (Winnipeg): 
​Emily Barker, Kendra Coulter, Emma Dal Monte, Kamryn Dyck, Anastasia Evsigneeva, Melina Giesbrecht, Neilla Hawley, Courtney Maertens, Anna Protsiou, Kyra Taylor-Gagné, Jenna Voth, Emily Will, Fiona Witherell, Colleen Zander

Libretto is the third study in  voice and movement in the research I have doing on the  the sound of a movement. I made phrases expressing sounds  that came as a result of the movement without music and  through a kind of gibberish. I taught the phrases to the dancers and then took rhythm patterns from musical theatre, which I felt invigorated  the air by themselves through their balance of voice and rhythm and used them  to order these visceral phrases (Jennifer Mascall).

ELOISE
​by Jeanette Kotowich
Eloise is a character-derived dance performance choreographed, written and performed by Jeanette Kotowich, which brings insight to the practice of honouring traditional territory. Eloise invites the audience to witness and participate in protocol with sincerity, hilarity, and gratitude. Through paralleling the irreverent against reverence, the performance experience is a provocation, asking the question "How do we give thanks?" Eloise is honouring, the inner terrain of the body, the ties to land and experience that we carry with us from where we have come, and the physical land on which we currently stand.
We are all of our relations.
​
TRAILS
Choreographed and Performed by Misty Wensel
At the head of a trail, this beaten down path where many have walked before.
The lens shrinks and the repetition of steps becomes a song.
The lens broadens and the vast prairie soundscape unfolds.
The cadence of feet stepping, visions of a congested dance floor.
Tracks gathering at a meeting point, bodies brought together by shifting winds.
Snapping sparks, a call to return home.
These are just the songs that follow the seeker into the wild.

THIS | NDH's Rouge-gorge | Robin Poitras | Edward Poitras | Krista Solheim
​A solo work in evolutionary change created for Krista Solheim, began in a previous group work entitled the End of Winter by Edward Poitras and Robin Poitras.The calving of an iceberg into the ocean, with music rooted in the Russian avant-garde, THIS traverses a metaphorical landscape of change.

MOSS | Nicole Mion | Linnea Swan
A choreographic installation focused on transformation in the organic world and in live performance. Featuring the indefatigable Linnea Swan, and devised choreography by Nicole Mion. Moss is a part of a performance series called I Eat You, which creates a series of manufactured landscapes and foraged experiences that reveal individuals in a state of becoming.
​
PORTRAIT | Brian Webb | Tony Olivares
Director's Notes:
I have been so excited to be able to collaborate with Tony Olivares who is one of the strongest and dynamic personalities in the Edmonton dance community. Plus, this guy can really dance! When I approached Tony, I asked him to come to the piece with three stories that defined him. He came ready to reveal his most vulnerable self - Portrait was born. It’s a portrait of this man I first encountered in 1991, when he was my student and told me to “fuck off”.
In this collaborative a solo performance, I want to reveal Tony as a multifaceted individual, to reveal his unique way of dancing and his outrageously strong personality. I chose to use the iconic song “The First Time Ever I saw Your Face” and am offering it to the audience in a unique way.
