    Arbez Drama Projects in association with The Toronto Fringe Festival 2017 THE OLD WOLF and the SACRED TROUT by Donald Molnar COMPANY HISTORY & BIOS Arbez Drama Projects Arbez Drama Projects is a not-for-profit theatre company based in Toronto. Our mandate is to pursue theatre projects that we feel passionate about. We create, develop, and produce new Canadian plays. The creation of our company is intimately connected to Sara's Cave by Donald Molnar, which was accepted into the City of Brampton’s 2nd Annual NewWorks Playwright Festival (2005). In order to produce the play, Donald Molnar, John Sader, and Alicia Payne created Arbez Drama Projects. Arbez Drama Projects now has several plays at various stages of development and has produced readings and workshop presentations at theatre festivals as well as social justice and academic conferences including: Readers’ Theatre of New Works at the National Black Theatre Festival, Winston Salem, North Carolina (2013 and 2015); 33rd Annual Teaching Public Administration Conference, Grand Rapids, Michigan (2010); Innocence Network Conference, at the South Texas College of Law, Houston, Texas (2009); and the rock.paper.sistahaz 7 festival, Toronto (2008). Anna Braumberger – Wolf Masks Anna Braumberger delights in the whimsical and bizzare which suits her very well in her work in the Vancouver Film industry set decoration department (IATSE Local 891). Having been professionally tasked in the last two years with everything from fabricating 80's neon art to occult decorated cow skulls for use in TV shows she still finds time for the occasional personal project. Starting in 2003 Anna began in a community Shakespeare group called "The Pressgang Theater Company" which worked every year on a shoestring budget to produce a play under the funding of the Society for Creative Anachronism.

In her teens she was a scholarship student at the Joffrey Ballet School and an apprentice with the Harkness Ballet both, in New York City. Her artistry has since been shaped by curiosity, inquiry, experimentation and investment in a variety of practices including the Skinner Releasing Technique™, improvisation, theatre, voice, Pilates, ballet and contemporary movement techniques. Sasso performed internationally with Toronto’s Dancemakers (1984-2000) and was the company’s Assistant Artistic Director and principal teacher for a dozen years.

  • Toronto Dance Theatre Celebrates 10Th Anniversary of Chiasmata With
    MEDIA CONTACT CATHY WASZCZUK P. 416 967 1365 x 23 [email protected] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Toronto Dance Theatre Celebrates 10th Anniversary of Chiasmata with Electric Remount (Toronto, ON) – Christopher House’s Chiasmata returns to the stage for the first time in eight years in a fresh new iteration by Toronto Dance Theatre (TDT) at the Winchester Street Theatre from March 30 – April 2 and April 5 – 8, 2017, presented as part of TDT’s ground-breaking Reimagining Repertoire project. Created in 2007 in collaboration with Gemini-award winning sound designer and composer Phil Strong, critics lauded Chiasmata as “a cacophony of dance that plays out as if on a charged magnetic field” (Deborah Meyers, The Vancouver Sun) and “the birth of a new aesthetic” (Paula Citron, The Globe and Mail). Christopher House developed new improvisation and editing techniques while making Chiasmata, giving greater agency to his interpreters in a desire to craft a new movement vocabulary. The choreography unfolds through large ensembles, tense duets, and eccentric solos, moving from percussive gestures to rich, full-bodied movements that are at times hieratic and at times unbridled. Twelve dancers negotiate this landscape to evoke an enigmatic community speaking its own language. In gene theory, a chiasma is a point of crossing where DNA is exchanged. Ten years after its premiere, House and the company continue this exchange of information, drawing on their recent creative research to redefine the potential of the work. The cast for this new production of Chiasmata includes both original performers and new company members. TDT’s three-year Reimagining Repertoire project supported by the Metcalf Foundation.

  • ATM 3M: Choreographer Study
    BLM #2 Student/Teacher Resource ATM 3M: Choreographer Study GOAL: Students will participate in a unit of study on a Canadian dancer. This unit may be replicated using various topics such as a dancer, choreographer, company, dance style, or cultural style. TOPIC: Dancer/Choreographer David Earle RESOURCES: • Encyclopedia of Theatre Dance in Canada • Dance websites such as http://www.dtde.ca/index.php; http://www.dcd.ca/ • “David Earle” video from the Dancemakers series 1. Watch videos of dances created by David Earle. What are some of the qualities of movement that are seen in most of Earle’s dances? 2. Select a few shapes, movements, and/or qualities from Earle's choreography. Physically explore the selected movements, allowing the opportunity to improvise on any of them. 3. Read biographical information or stories on David Earle. 4. Complete a research project on David Earle. Students can be assigned a research topic to prepare and bring to class to share with each other. Examples: biographical information, compositions from various decades, the founding of the Toronto Dance Theatre, Dancetheatre David Earl etc. 5. As a class, learn a portion from one of Earle's pieces as accurately as possible. In pairs or small groups, create variations of a phrase and add it onto the original phrase. Variations may include changing the speed, the quality of movement, or the locomotor methods. 6. Write letters to David Earle (via Dancetheatre David Earle) to obtain any information about him. Have each student write a letter. Select one, preferably as a class, to send to David Earle and share the responses with the class.
