Mile Zero Dance: The Spine Folds, Far Away (eryn tempest)

October 23, 2020 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Event Series

The Spine Folds, Far Away, reimagines the body as a multitudinous structure of strange matter and alien organisms: a vessel in constant transformation always on the brink of collapse. It attempts to situate the human experience in terms of its relation to dreams, sensation, and the cosmos, using space and time travel to unpack the uncanny nature of an ever-evolving embodiment.

Artist Biography

eryn tempest is a choreographer and movement artist currently based out of Montreal with roots in Edmonton, Alberta. She is compelled by the exploration of movement and physicality within the context of emotion and affect. Her interest in subtle energies and vibrations in the body allow her to delve deeply into a research around state, and to question the transformative and propulsive capacities of imagination and emotion. She investigates the body as a conduit, a revealing zone wherein external forces and alien intelligences are activated and given reign to express themselves. eryn’s work has been presented by Nextfest, Expanse, Vous Êtes Ici/You Are Here, and Tangente Danse. She has received support from the Edmonton Arts Council, Conseil des Arts et des Lettres du Québec, as well as the Canada Council for the Arts.
