Hear from three unique artists—JoDee Allen (breakdance), Marie-Josée Chartier (contemporary dance) and Brandy Leary (aerial dance)—about their experiences creating and performing outside conventional dance productions. Each of these artists has a story to tell about bringing their dance training to performance situations that are collaborative and inventive. This is dance performance—but maybe not like you’ve imagined it. This panel will be moderated by Michael Trent. The panel discussion will be followed by a short Q & A. JoDee Allen (BFA Contemporary Dance, Concordia) is a professional dancer, choreographer and B-girl. JoDee is also a founding member and co-artistic director of the dance company, Solid State Breakdance (2000 - present). She is currently pursuing a Masters degree at Concordia University exploring Gesture Based Video Games. In her research, JoDee is exploring the immersive and expressive potential of gesture based digital gaming, and the potential these games have to draw the participant into a simultaneously emotional and corporeal experience. She is especially interested in the shifting regions of social game play, street culture and how these practices coalesce around perception of self, connection to a group, response to the environment, and personal expression. Marie-Josée Chartier is a multi-faceted artist who moves easily between the worlds of dance, music, opera and multi-media in the roles of choreographer, performer, director, vocalist or teacher. Her choreographic works are greatly influenced by contemporary visual art, music and literature in terms of concept, composition and dynamic structure and have been presented in Canada, Europe and Latin America. In 2003, Marie-Josée Chartier founded Chartier Danse in order to support her creative activities. Acclaimed large scale productions came to life such as Red Brick, Contes pour enfants pas sages, Screaming Popes and Bas-Reliefs. Ms. Chartier has received choreographic commissions from solo artists and Canadian dance companies. She is the recipient of the K.M. Hunter Artist Award, nine Dora Mavor Moore Awards nominations winning among others a Dora for fifty-one pieces of silver and two Doras for And by the way Miss and most recently the multi-disciplinary dance artist award from the Young Centre for the perform- ing arts. She choreographs and directs contemporary music, multi-media and opera productions for companies such as Queen of Puddings Music Theatre, Gryphon Trio and L’Ensemble Contemporain de Montréal with ongoing national and international touring. She is increasingly active as artistic advisor, mentor or director for several established and/or upcoming dance artists. She continues to perform on international and national stages; she is also a regular guest teacher in training centres and universities in Canada and Latin America in modern dance, voice exploration and improvisation.

Brandy Leary creates contemporary performance works from dance based entry points through cross-genre and poly-cultural perspectives exploring the intersection of traditional and contemporary performing practices and potential structures for horizontal collaboration in the artistic process. Brandy holds a BA Honours in Theatre with a specialization in Direction and Asian Theatre from York University’s Theatre Program. She has lived between Canada and India for the past 14 years training, collaborating and creating in the traditional Indian performing languages of Seraikella and Mayurbhanj Chhau (dance), Kalarippayattu (martial art) and Rope Mallakhamb (aerial rope). In Canada she works with western approaches to aerial rope work and the bridge discipline of Axis Syllabus to support choreographic creations that are interested in site specific/spatial activation explorations and audience/performance relationships. She has been the resident choreographer at the Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto since 2010 where she is creating her Precipice Project cycle of site activation choreographies that will span through to 2013 and she is an Associated Artist with IMPACT (Indian Martial and Performance Art Collective of Toronto) teach- ing youth Indian dance and martial arts in priority neighborhoods accross the GTA. She founded Anan- dam Dancetheatre as an umbrella structure for her performance projects and is its Artistic Director. (www.anandam.ca) Her work has been presented in Toronto, New York, Gatineau, Ottawa, Winnipeg, New Delhi, Calcutta and Ahemnabad. Dora-nominated dance artist Michael Trent is the Artistic Director and Resident Choreographer of Toronto’s Dancemakers and the Centre for Creation, one of Canada’s leading contemporary dance companies and a centre for research and development in new dance practices. The organization’s creations, pre- senting and professional development projects are contemporary, cross- disciplinary and collaborative in nature. In a career spanning over 25 years, Trent’s body of work has been seen across Canada at the National Arts Centre, l’Agora de la danse, the Canada Dance Fes- tival and the Dancing on the Edge Festival in Vancouver. Prior to coming to Dancemakers, Trent was the founding Artistic Director of the empty collective. Since its inception in 2000, the empty collective produced The Memory Show (2001) and invisible borders (2004), with works by Trent, Sarah Chase, Laurence Lemieux, Louise Bédard and Doug Varone. As a performer, Trent has danced for some of Canada’s most respected creators including Louise Bédard, Martin Bélanger, Sarah Chase, David Earle, Sylvain Émard, Ame Henderson, Christopher House, Sasha Iva- nochko, Laurence Lemieux, Antonija Livingstone, Jean-Pierre Perreault, Dominique Porte and Julia Sasso. He has taught across Canada and in Holland and was the co-recipient of the 2004 K.M. Hunter Artists Award in dance. Panel - BEYOND PERFORMANCE Did you know? Your training can take you to some unusual places… hear from dance artists who have turned their fine arts education into unexpected careers. A dance education offers so much more than just performance skills. It provides you with a perspective on dance, and a vocabulary to communicate that perspective. These panellists have careers that go beyond performance, to encompass teaching dance (Tina Nicolaidis), writing about dance (Lindsay Zier-Vogel), and producing multidisciplinary work (Sky Fairchild-Waller). Find out how each of these panellists has used their dance training to help build a multi-faceted career. This panel will be moderated by Kevin Ormsby. The panel discussion will be followed by a short Q & A. Tina Nicolaidis is the co-founder and Artistic Director of City Dance Corps, one of Toronto’s leading dance schools that just celebrated its tenth year of business. She has been featured in numerous television shows and magazines including, Much Music, Fashion Magazine, Maclean’s, National Post, CBC’s “Living in Toronto”, Rogers “Toronto Living”, Elle Magazine, and CH TV to name a few. She has been a dance judge for international level Latin dance competitions and American reality TV shows such as Instant Beauty Pageant.

Pearson as the principal centennial project of the federal government. Built in the shape of a hexagon, the design became the architectural leitmotif for Canada's premier performing arts centre. Situated in the heart of the nation's capital across Confederation Square from Parliament Hill, the National Arts Centre is among the largest performing arts complexes in Canada. It is unique as the only multidisciplinary, bilingual performing arts centre in North America and features one of the largest stages on the continent.

  • 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.

  • May 24Th, 2016 - for IMMEDIATE RELEASE
    PRESS CONTACT: Natasha Kautsky | Director of Marketing & Communications EMAIL: [email protected] May 24th, 2016 - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: From a deep field of gifted candidates emerge three winners in Oregon Ballet Theatre’s ChoreographyXX competition celebrating dance created by women Last January Oregon Ballet Theatre (OBT) announced the launch of ChoreographyXX a competition and performance project promoting female choreographers made possible by a generous grant from the Oregon Community Foundation’s Creative Heights Initiative. In the weeks that followed the company received nearly 90 submissions from incredibly gifted candidates. Today OBT Artistic Director Kevin Irving is pleased to announce the three winners of the competition: Gioconda Barbuto, Helen Simoneau, and Nicole Haskins. These talented women have each been awarded a commission to set a new work on OBT. The three world premieres will be presented free to the public June 29-30, 2017 at Washington Park’s Rose Garden Amphitheater. The competition’s winning candidates were selected by a jury of Northwest artists and arts producers that included: Angela Mattox (Artistic Director, PICA), Paul King (Co-Founder, White Bird), local choreographer Mary Oslund (Co-Founder, Conduit) and long-time ballet teacher Catherine Levi (Corvallis Academy of Balletwas). The jury was led by OBT Artistic Director Kevin Irving. Together the group sought applicants with work that reflected a creative capacity for unique, contemporary expressions of a classical ballet vocabulary. “We were thrilled with the incredible response to this competition,” comments Irving. “With such a wealth of talent we couldn’t have dreamed up a better mix of choreographic voices than we have in Barbuto, Simoneau, and Haskins” Each of these talented women are accomplished dancers with vastly different choreographic styles and in different stages of their careers.

M4X 1B2 . 416-967-6887 . [email protected] The School of Toronto Dance Theatre was established in 1968 by the founders of Toronto Dance Theatre: Patricia Beatty, David Earle, and Peter Randazzo. In January 1978, after a decade of growth, the School incorporated separately from the company. In 1979 the Professional Training Program was established by David Earle, and together the company and School moved into the studios and offices of their current home at 80 Winchester Street. To date the School maintains its affiliation with Toronto Dance Theatre, currently under the artistic direction of Christopher House. Under the artistic direction of Patricia Fraser since 1993, the School is devoted to providing a broad spectrum of movement classes for the serious dance artist and for the community. It comprises four divisions: the Professional Training Program (PTP): a full-time, three-year, post-secondary program providing training to students intent on a career in contemporary dance, Summer Intensives, Adult Recreational Classes, and our Young Dancers’ Program. The School has served as the foundation and inspiration for generations of dancers. We continue to draw from the finest aspects of our legacy while looking to new directions in dance to develop artistic vision. w schooloftdt.org @SchoolofTDT PLEASE NOTE: • Latecomers will not be admitted to the theatre until there is a break in the performance. • The use of cameras, video cameras, or camera phones is strictly prohibited.
