Danceworks in Absentia “Moore is a vivid daring creator” John Kendle, Uptown Magazine “Moore's text is crisp, poetic, elegant and evocative; her painting of character is swift and deep.” Beverely Daurio, Evidance DANCEWORKS PRESENTS IN ABSENTIA PRODUCED BY JDDANCE ​ CHOREOGRAPHY, CONCEPT, AND DIRECTION BY SHARON B. MOORE PERFORMERS JORDANA DEVEAU, JESSE DELL, NOAH BLATT, YIMING CAI, HILARY KNEE, JAKE RAMOS AND KATHIA WITTENBORN NOVEMBER 21 – 23, 2019 AT HARBOURFRONT CENTRE THEATRE Toronto, ON (October 24, 2019) – Boldly interweaving dance, puppetry, set, music, lights, and live-action video design, DanceWorks is proud to present IN ABSENTIA, a stunning new multimedia work produced ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ by Toronto-based collective JDdance. Boasting choreography and direction by Sharon B. Moore, as well ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ as performances by Jesse Dell and Jordana Deveau, alongside five of Toronto’s most exhilarating ​ ​ ​ ​ emerging dance artists, this original production is five years in the making and will celebrate its World Premiere at Harbourfront Centre Theatre, November 21-23, 2019. ​ ​ A modern day fantasy, IN ABSENTIA celebrates the unexpected beauty that blossoms in the aftermath of ​ ​ calamity. Two humans, lost, traverse an ever-shifting landscape. Fragile and torrential, vivid and fantastical, the journey spins a prophetic dream world which helps them divine the consequences and potentials of living in a harrowing time. “With complex design and over 1000 pounds of raw cardboard material on-stage, IN ABSENTIA is riddled ​ ​ with risk. Humorous and magical, threatening and horrifying, movement reshapes the weight of the world around us and our own human part in it. Whether navigating through a house of mirrors, escaping the poisonous needles of a porcupine or surrendering to the premonitions of two tiny fortune- telling skeletons, IN ABSENTIA is a visual journey through movement and design.” Sharon B. Moore This ambitious dance piece also features a larger-than-life set design created by award-winning designer Steve Lucas. Turning and twisting like an incoming storm, it is entirely made of cardboard. The ​ production also features original music composition by Allen Cole, projection design by Laura Warren, ​ ​ ​ ​ elaborate costume design by Sonja Rainey, and two petite skeletons that provide hope in a world of ​ ​ treacherous fantasy. Sharon B. Moore (Concept, Choreography & Direction) works across the worlds of dance, theatre, film, ​ ​ and circus. Alongside Canadian composer/director Derek Aasland, she runs Cinetic Creations, a company dedicated to large scale cinematic and theatrical works. Their fantastical worlds are a hybrid of intimate narrative, movement, original music and production design. Their creations have received many Dora Mavor Moore nominations in the categories of choreography, production, performance, and lighting design, including a Dora for Outstanding Performance - Female, Jillian Peever in The Mystery of Mr. ​ Leftovers (2016). ​ Jesse Dell (Producer and Performer) is a dance artist, choreographer, singer, costume designer, graphic ​ ​ designer, and mother. As a dancer, Jesse has had the privilege of working with choreographers Peggy Baker, Aria Evans, Kate Franklin, Susan Lee, Shannon Litzenberger, Sharon Moore, Tracey Norman, Julia Sasso, and Holly Small, as well as for JDdance, a collective she co-founded in 2009. Jordana Deveau (Producer and Performer) is a dynamic force in the Toronto dance community, active as ​ ​ a dancer, creator, educator, rehearsal director, and producer. She is the Co-Artistic Director of JDdance and is the co-author, with her mentor Donna Krasnow, PhD, of "C-I Training: Conditioning with Imagery for Dancers." The show also features performances by five extremely talented graduates of The School of Toronto Dance Theatre; Noah Blatt, Yiming Cai, Hilary Knee, Jake Ramos, and Kathia Wittenborn. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ The production includes set and lighting design by Steve Lucas, who has designed award-winning sets ​ ​ and lighting for more than 500 productions of theatre, dance, and performance art. His work has toured extensively and has been seen all across Canada, the United States, the UK, Europe, Scandinavia, Russia, Australia, and Asia. Steve has also been nominated for several of Canada’s most prestigious awards, including the Siminovitch Prize in Theatre, the Pauline McGibbon Award, the K.M. Hunter Award, and 33 Dora Mavor Moore Award nominations. Also, the show includes original music by composer Allen Cole. Allen has worked as composer, musical ​ ​ director, and writer on many musical theatre, dance, and film works and has won numerous awards, including four Doras, five Merritts, and a Best Film Score Award from The Atlantic Film Festival. The show will also include projection design by Laura Warren and costume design by Sonja Rainey. ​ ​ ​ ​ ABOUT DANCEWORKS: ​ DanceWorks began as a collective of independent dance artists in 1977 and has grown to become ​ Toronto’s leading presenter of independent dance.

While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material.

  • “Global Dissident”: Georgi Markov As a Cold War Playwright and Exile
    STUDIA HISTORICA GEDANENSIA TOM V (2014) Vessela S. Warner (University of Alabama at Birmingham) “Global Dissident”: Georgi Markov as a Cold War Playwright and Exile Bulgarian writer Georgi Markov was undeniably one of the most controversial and internationally known Cold War dissidents and, after 1969, an expatriate‑turned‑exile.1 Although some of his literary works were censored during the time of political stagnation and tightened ideological control, he left his country as a legal tourist and privileged member of the Bulgarian intellectual elite. Under the pressure exercised on him by conservative statesmen and policing critics, the writer ultimately sought refuge in the West. Markov’s radio programs aired successfully on BBC and Deutsche Welle, but it was the chapters of his memoir Zadochni Reportazhi za Bulgaria (Correspondence on Bulgaria in Absentia),2 broadcasted on Radio Free Europe, which presented the most insightful and incriminatory account on Bulgarian dictatorial communism and attracted millions of listeners. This extensive political memoir ultimately led to the author’s assassination in London, widely known as the “Bulgarian umbrella murder”. Although Markov’s death and its long and complicated investigation have been extensively covered in journal articles, film documentaries, and spy histories,3 Markov’s literary work is less studied even in his own country, 1 The main difference between “expatriates” and “exiles,” as pointed by John Neubauer, is that the former leave their countries without being “existentially endangered [and] in principle they can return any time they want to”. See John Neubauer, Borbála Zsuzsanna Török, eds., The Exile and Return of Writers from East‑Central Europe.
