  • 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.

  • Heartsurge (100)
    § 56 BPM monitor Artists' Play dance theatre II (100) aR HeartSurge (100) What happens when, in the beat of a heart, the inner rhythms that drive us change? FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: May 19, 2009 is back at it… What happens when, in the beat of a heart, the inner rhythms that drive us change? A joyful Viennese waltz is interrupted by a heart murmur. Three dancers morph into a sinewy pulsating heart, magnifying the physical representation of heart surgery. Through powerful elevated duets, heartfelt struggle becomes a mutual push to recovery. Based on a true story, Alan Page shared his experience of emotions, physical being and factual, medical information associated with his own heart surgery. The first incarnation of HeartSurge was shown at fFida 2006 and now incorporates dance theatre, while intertwining social waltz with contemporary dance. Elizabeth Dawn Snell’s choreography brings passion and empathy to the piece, and as her second year at the Fringe, she brings a fresh, new experience to the stage. Fringe 2008, the Toronto Star’s Susan Walker said, “Snell can dance,” and she can—catch her in a short preview of Love & Life alongside the performance of HeartSurge. “Through the metaphor of lyrical, emotional movement… the piece made a strong impact…” —Paula Citron, The Globe and Mail ~Artists’ Play Dance Theatre presents HeartSurge at the 2009 Toronto Fringe~ Choreography by: Elizabeth Dawn Snell Original Music by: Jason Vanstone and Al Bee Dancers/Collaborators: Tanya Crowder, Tyler Evan Webb, Sarah McQueston, Jason Vanstone, and Elizabeth Dawn Snell LOCATION: The George Ignatieff Theatre, 15 Devonshire Place (East of St.
