    ANTEPRIMA TORINODANZA FESTIVAL 2018 DEBUTTA IL 17 E IL 18 MAGGIO ALLE FONDERIE LIMONE MONCALIERI “BETROFFENHEIT” COREOGRAFIA E DIREZIONE DELLA CANADESE CRYSTAL PITE - SPETTACOLO INSERITO NELLA STAGIONE DEL TEATRO STABILE DI TORINO – TEATRO NAZIONALE L’edizione 2018 di Torinodanza si apre alle Fonderie Limone di Moncalieri il 17 maggio 2018 alle 20.45 (con replica il 18 maggio alle 20.45) con il debutto, in prima nazionale e unica data italiana, di Betroffenheit creato dalla coreografa Crystal Pite e dall’attore drammaturgo Jonathon Young, entrambi canadesi. Questa “anteprima” realizzata in collaborazione con il Teatro Stabile di Torino – Teatro Nazionale costituisce il biglietto da visita del Festival e prelude all’ormai abituale programmazione autunnale di Torinodanza (10 settembre - 1 dicembre) che inaugurerà definitivamente nel mese di settembre. Betroffenheit, con la coreografia e la direzione di Crystal Pite, è un esempio di fusione di danza e teatro contemporanei che lega la Stagione di prosa del Teatro Stabile con l’anteprima del Festival. «La storia del trauma vissuto da Jonathon Young (la morte della figlia e della nipote a causa di un incendio n.d.r.), il suo personale Betroffenheit è al centro di questa avventura. Jonathon mi ha coinvolto nella sfida di utilizzare le nostre discipline artistiche per lottare contro la sofferenza e il suo coraggio mi ha permesso di mostrare coerenza. Sono molto riconoscente per questa opportunità di essere al suo fianco per guardare in questo difficile terreno che è il dolore e di esplorarlo in un onesto processo di creazione. Sono stata sorpresa di constatare la gioia che è nata all’interno di questo progetto e profondamente commossa per la curiosità di Jonathon che si è dato a cuore aperto.

  • Partition Prod.Notes Final
    PARTITION PRODUCTION NOTES India, 1947, in the last days of the British Raj, a way of life is coming to an end. Intertwining cultures are forced to separate. As PARTITION divides a nation, two lives are brought together in a profound and sweeping story that reveals the tenderness of the human heart in the most violent of times. From award-winning Kashmiri born filmmaker Vic Sarin comes PARTITION— A timeless love story played out in the foothills of the Himalayas against a backdrop of political and religious upheaval. The Story Line Determined to leave the ravages of war behind, 38-year-old Gian Singh (Jimi Mistry), a Sikh, resigns from the British Indian Army to a quiet life as a farmer. His world is soon thrown in turmoil, when he suddenly finds himself responsible for the life of a 17-year-old Muslim girl, Naseem Khan (Kristin Kreuk) traumatized by the events that separated her from her family. Slowly, resisting all taboos, Gian finds himself falling in love with the vulnerable Naseem and she shyly responds. In a moving and epic story, woven into an exotic tapestry, they battle the forces that haunt their innocent love, fighting the odds to survive in a world surrounded by hate. The History Director Vic Sarin’s memories of India—the things he witnessed and the stories he heard as a child—have left an indelible impression on him. The tragic story of a friend of Sarin’s father - a Sikh gentleman who loved a Muslim woman - became the inspiration for the two archetypal Romeo and Juliet characters in his movie.

  • News Release: Kidd Pivot 2020
    111–2750 Quadra Street, Victoria BC Canada V8T 4E8 DanceVictoria.com Media Contact: Tracy Smith [email protected] 250-595-1829 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE January 21, 2020 Dance Victoria presents the theatrical event of the season by award-winning choreographer Crystal Pite and actor/writer Jonathon Young Revisor February 7 + 8, 2020, 7:30 pm, Royal Theatre VICTORIA, B.C. – Two of Canada’s most ground-breaking artists have joined forces again to create an innovative contemporary dance theatre work called Revisor touring to the Royal Theatre on February 7 and 8, 2020. By the creators of the international sensation, Betroffenheit, Crystal Pite and Jonathon Young’s Revisor takes inspiration from the 1836 play, The Inspector General, by Nikolai Gogol. Revisor satirizes the greed and pettiness of small-town citizens who mistake a low-level clerk for a high-ranking government inspector. Soon the community is wining, dining, and bribing him. Eight dancers embody the recorded dialogue of some of Canada’s finest actors (Jonathon Young, Ryan Beil, Nicola Lipman, Alessandro Juliani and Meg Roe) in this warped pantomime/karaoke ballet with broad, exaggerated gestures. The gestures are akin to movement ventriloquism. Choreographer Crystal Pite explains, "[The dancers] are lip-synching with their whole bodies. The choreography can move analogously with the rhythm of the text and reflect its message, or it can be at odds with it, creating tension between what we're hearing and what we're seeing." The show itself is continually “revised” throughout the performance. Halfway through, Jay Gower Taylor’s set disappears, Tom Visser’s lighting takes over and the dancers reappear in contemporary dress.

Asian American Justice Center Dear Friends: www.advancingequality.org Next week, two groundbreaking new television series (SELFIE and East West Players www.eastwestplayers.org STALKER) will premiere starring Asian Americans. We are asking you to promote these shows and help demonstrate that Asian Americans Japanese American Citizens League will watch shows that feature us in non-stereotypical roles. www.jacl.org The Asian Pacific American Media Coalition (APAMC or the Coalition) and its member organizations (listed on the left) have been advocating Media Action Network for for greater diversity in network television for the past 15 years.

  • NXIVM Sex Cult!
    Cold Open: The NXIVM Sex Cult! Founded by Keith “Creepy Ass Super Punchable Face” Raniere [ruh near ee] in 1998 - at its height, this NXIVM had NOTHING to do with acid reflux medication and counted thousands of members, including celebrities, heirs and heiresses who all paid thousands, and sometimes MILLIONS of dollars to attend a never-ending series of classes at various NVIXM training centers. Lying at the intersection of a multi-level marketing scheme, a self-help group, and occasionally a summer camp, NXIVM was a true cult. For a few die hards… it kind of still is. People started publicly worrying about how dangerous this cult might be all the way back in 2003. But it wouldn’t be until 2017, when the New York Times published an article about one of its former members being literally BRANDED like cattle as a part of an initiation into a secret sex cult within NXIVM, that the group’s true and terrible practices would be brought into the light and exposed. We’ll meet some people - seemingly ordinary people - that so desperately wanted someone to lead them to enlightenment that they allowed themselves to be slowly manipulated into paying to participate in weirder and weirder “exercises” until they finally agreed to be actual slaves. And part of, basically, a harem. We’ll meet Keith Raniere [ruh near ee], the devious and perverted mastermind at the center of all of this, who used his experience at Amway - a Michigan-based multi-level marketing company - and then borrowed a lot from Scientology, to make people think that he was some kind of once-in-a-lifetime guru spiritual Jedi who had the answer to all of your - and all of the WORLD’S - problems.

  • The Score Press Kit FINAL Apr27
    presents Running Time: 83:22 minutes Genre: Dramatic Musical Format: High Definition PRESS KIT For Sales Information Contact: World Sales IndieCan Entertainment Avi Federgreen 194 Glenholme Avenue Toronto, ON M6E 3C4 T: 416.898.3456 E: info@indiecanent/com SHORT SYNOPSIS A groundbreaking musical drama about a scientist whose own genetic history threatens her career, her lab and her life. “Are you ready to kick the ass genomic?” Dr. Lynn Magnusson is a brilliant geneticist racing to isolate a cancer-causing gene. All that’s standing in her way is competition from a well funded French lab, a ticking biological clock that leads to a risky office romance, and her own fears that she might carry the same Huntington’s gene that killed her mother. Based on the award-winning play by Electric Company Theatre, The Score explores the human elements and revolutionary implications of the rapidly advancing world of genetics and uses humour, music and dance to transform scientific ideas into universal themes of identity, freedom and creation. SYNOPSIS The Score tells the story of Dr. Lynn Magnusson, a woman at the helm of a cutting-edge but under-funded lab that is racing towards a significant discovery of genetics-based cancer research. In order to beat the odds at being the first to discover an elusive cancer trigger and maintain her funding, she contemplates sharing research and resources with a lab in Paris, headed by JP Martineau. Meanwhile she is being courted by Ameritech Pharmaceuticals, a multinational company that may be the answer to her lab’s financial woes.
