A Cce Le Ra Tion 2019 Celebrating 50 years of inspired dance training 2019 March 20-23, 8PM Winchester Street Theatre Yiming Cai © Cylla von Tiedemann ACCELERATION 80 Winchester St. Celebrating 50 years of inspired dance training 80 Winchester Street, Toronto ON . 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. • Please turn off your cell phones, or set to silent mode. ACCELERATION 2019 Colder Ink (1994) Choreography: Christopher House Rehearsal Direction: Rosemary James Rehearsal Assistance: Patricia Miner Music: Dead of Winter, Tim Brady Lighting Design: Simon Rossiter after Roelof Peter Snippe Costume Design: Cara Johnson after Denis Huneault-Joffre Dancers: • Tanveer Alam, Yiming Cai, Heather Jefferys, Claire Whitaker (March 20, 22) • Morgyn Aronyk-Schell, Noah Blatt, Ryan Kostyniuk, Lucie Schmidt (March 21, 23) Colder Ink was created in the spring of 1994. The movement vocabulary was developed with Laurence Lemieux and the premiere performance was danced by Kate Alton, Graham McKelvie, Coralee McLaren, and Michael Trent. Colder Ink marked a turning point for me in its eccentric counterpoint and its broad movement palette. The choreography requires extreme precision and elastic control to execute, yet the performer must remain serenely present in the here- and-now. ― CH Dance with Heart and Breath (March 20, 2019) Choreography: Susie Burpee Music: Music for Heart and Breath, Richard Reed Parry Lighting Design: Simon Rossiter Costume Design: Cara Johnson Dancers: Tanveer Alam, Emily Fonda, Justin Fraser, Kari Labrentz, Gwendolyn Mitchell, Chelsea Mulholland, Chloe Sandrelli, Lucie Schmidt Thank you to the dancers for your thoughtful and spontaneous contributions to our creative process. ― SB – INTERMISSION (15 min) – High Heart (2009) dignity walks a red path not given but self-made Choreography: Patricia Beatty Rehearsal Direction: Danielle Baskerville, Nicole Rose Bond Music: Arvo Pärt Lighting Design: Simon Rossiter after Roelof Peter Snippe Costume Design: Cara Johnson after Denis Huneault-Joffre Dancers: • Gwendolyn Mitchell (March 20, 22) High Heart was first performed • Chelsea Mulholland (March 21, 23) by Danielle Baskerville.

Represented in writing by the ideogram for the sun’s rays, and in hexagrams of the I Ching as an unbroken line, yang is all that is bright, dry, hard, masculine, round, odd-numbered, and upward moving. Yang was created for Sylvain Brochu in 1998. In 2003, the original solo was superimposed with a second reconfigured version and performed as a duet by Sylvain Brochu and Shannon Cooney. ― PB Nobody’s Business (1981) Choreography: Danny Grossman Choreographic Reconstruction/Rehearsal Direction: Eddie Kastrau Music: T’Aint Nobody’s Business if I Do, Porter Grainger, Everett Robbins Original Costume Design: Mary Kerr Costume Reconstruction: Cara Johnson Original Lighting Design: David Morrison after Nicholas Cernovitch Lighting Reconstruction: Simon Rossiter Dancers: • Yiming Cai, Ryan Kostyniuk (March 20, 22) • Noah Blatt, Ryan Kostyniuk (March 21, 23) with Emily Fonda, Justin Fraser, Kari Labrentz, Gwendolyn Mitchell, Chelsea Mulholland, Chloe Sandrelli Blues singer Joe Turner sets the atmosphere for this piece. Nobody’s Business presents a tongue-in-cheek look at sexual mores. The duet presented here is the centre section of a longer work. ― DG FOR SALE AT INTERMISSION The School of Toronto Dance Theatre Socks: $15/pair OR 3 for $40 STUDENT BAKE SALE in Studio A CHOREOGRAPHERS PEGGY BAKER CM, LLD, DLitt, O.Ont, is one of Canada’s most celebrated and influential dance artists, respected as a performer in the work of esteemed Canadian and American creators; as an educator in important dance training programs throughout North America; and as a choreographer of poetic and visually striking works for her Toronto based company, Peggy Baker Dance Projects.

  • 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.

  • 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.

The book provides simple text that younger children can follow along with and/or read on their own. Through effective character development, the author provides great insight into the primary colours and how they may be mixed to make new secondary colours. An example from the text: "Orange is red and yellow mixed together. No blue." Review Color Dance is a fabulous picture story that can be used in any primary and early junior classroom. In my experiences, I have used this text to allow students to create movement based on how the various colours inspire them. This process may begin with having students create a graphic organizer for one to two colours. Once you have reviewed students' webs, create a mass web on the board. Next, read Color Dance by Ann Jonas. Immediately after reading the text, have the students add to their webs. After some discussion, have the students find a spot in the room where they can stand or sit with their eyes closed.

  • 50Th Anniversary Season
    50TH 50 ANNIVERSARY SEASON 2017 / 2018 In 1968, three forward-thinking dance artists– Patricia Beatty, WELCOME TO TDT'S David Earle and Peter Randazzo– came together to establish a company and school that changed the face of Canadian dance. By encouraging innovation and collaboration, and acquiring a FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY permanent home for the two organizations, they planted seeds for the creation of a vast repertoire of Canadian works –almost SEASON 500 at last count– and the development of generations of dancers and choreographers. TDT continues to be an incubator for the development of dance artists, from emerging to senior, as shown by this year's Glass Fields program at the Fleck Dance Theatre, by our second Emerging Voices Project, and by our special co-presentation with Toronto Heritage Dance. We have toured across Canada since our inception and performed in many of the great cities of the world including New York, London, Beijing, Tokyo, Seoul, Mumbai, Berlin and Mexico City. In this anniversary year, we travel to three cities in Colombia and perform in eleven Canadian cities coast to coast. Fifty years later, Toronto is a radically different city than it was in 1968. The company reflects the city back to itself by celebrating the power of community, the importance of critical engagement and the many ways that live performance can change our dialogue with the world. We have much to celebrate! None of it would be possible, this year or in the past, without the support of legions of donors, funders, volunteers, staff members and artists, and the love and attention of the audience.
