Dance with Me (2 Volumes) A hip, two volume exploration of dance, choreography and space. The two volume set consists dance pieces by leading Canadian contemporary dance companies in a variety of locations. The director, Albert Girard, found six very particular and different ambiances for the dancers to work in. The visually stunning locations are part of the concepts. The 12 x 24 minutes films are shot in a sport shop, warehouses, a church and an empty swimming pool amongst others. The location and the space influence the choreographical choices. The dance pieces are colourful, hectic, sensual and poetic comments on human relationships. 15 Days of Dance: The 15 Days of Dance: The Cine Dance: The Screendance 3 Volume One Volume TWO Making of “Ghost Making of “Ghost Butoh of Tatsumi Mirrorland (2010) draws on 6 x 24 minutes featuring 6 x 24 minutes featuring Light” the full 20 Light” Hijikata - Anma (The investigations into how we The solos and group choreographies are excellent Danse Carpe Diem Sinha Dance hours (20 DVDs in box) Reeder’s new work for the Masseurs)+Rose Color experience landscape. resources for choreographers and dance students at Louise Bedard Danse Creation Cafeine Elliot Caplan’s idea was to ABT Studio Company is a Dance Bodmin Whale (2009) sets any age.
