SUMMARY:‘the prime of my life’ (Mile Zero Dance)
DESCRIPTION:This work explores the relationship between live performance and live-streamed performance – a  multidisciplinary installation with three live performances\, with each one building off the last. \nAll shows are free and can be watched from the sidewalk in front of MZD (10816–95 ST | Edmonton\, AB) or lived streamed below on: \n\nNovember 8 – 6PM MDT\nNovember 15 – 6 PM MDT\nNovember 22 – 6PM MDT\n\nAbout the Artist\nHannah Quimper-Swiderski (she/they) is an artist from Edmonton-Amiskwaciwâskahikan\, Alberta. Working primarily with video\, performance and photography\, Hannah’s work explore concepts of gender performativity\, identity and the body as a contextually loaded form. She often performs as characters\, exploring her own identity through personas and visual identities found within b-movies\, late night television\, and advertising. \nHannah has shown work in venues such as the Edmonton International Film Festival\, the Art Gallery of Alberta\, Latitude 53\, and Mile Zero Dance. She also has a background in theatre\, having been raised in the community theatre scene in rural Alberta and trained at the Foote Theatre School in Edmonton and Second City in Toronto. Hannah previously went to film school with the intention of working as a cinematographer before completing her BFA at the University of Alberta in 2019. \nArtist Statement\nWithin my practice I explore concepts of gender performativity\, identity and the body as a contextually loaded form. Within my video\, photo and performance work\, I often perform as characters\, exploring my own identity through personas and visual identities found within b-movies\, late night television\, and advertising. These range from the otherworldly (magicians\, clowns) to the archetypal (cowgirls\, news anchors\, movie stars). I am drawn to the behind-the-scenes\, often referencing the film set itself\, focusing on the constructed nature of the characters and their worlds. Through this re-presentation of reality\, I aim to reveal the uncanny within the real. \nLately\, my work has become more personal\, reflecting my own experiences growing up as a queer person in small-town Alberta. Through combinations of live performance and video\, I am exploring my complicated relationship with my own identity\, and playing with performance within real and constructed spaces.

SUMMARY:Movement with eryn tempest
DESCRIPTION:On November 17\, 19\, and 20\, eryn tempest will be leading a fun and creative movement class\, from 10:00 am to 11:30 am (MST)\, to get you playing and palling around with a bunch of virtual buddies. Join us online via Zoom for a little post breakfast dance party that engages the imagination and aims to get you feeling a little bit goofy and a little bit spiritual.\n\nZoom link: https://www.us02web.zoom.us/j/87676606166\n\n\nAbout eryn tempest:\neryn tempest is a Canadian choreographer and movement artist with roots in Edmonton and Montréal. Her work explores the body as a conduit\, a revealing zone through which the invisible is made visible\, where distance and infinity play out in the proximal and the finite. Her research engages questions of embodiment at the intersection of poesy\, scientific inquiry\, and deep healing work\, encountering the body as a transforming thing\, whose transformation leads to notions of both healing and exorcism.

SUMMARY:Long’s Hill: I live(d) here (NAC)
DESCRIPTION:“Long’s Hill: I live(d) Here.” is a neighbourhood walking tour by Louise Moyes Docudance\, told through those who live and have lived in the Long’s Hill area\, in historic downtown St. John’s Newfoundland. In 2016\, crisis struck. The Neighbourhood was divided as to what to do. Through dance\, photographs\, interviews and stories\, Long’s Hill Walk reveals our hopes and fears\, homes and businesses\, our public spaces – and where they intersect. This work brings us face-to-face with the issues that shape a community and how dance\, and the act of walking\, can express the resilient nature of its people. \nThe performance features neighbourhood artists\, Inuk throat singer and drummer Sophie Angnatok and African/Canadian singer/songwriter Winnie Churchill. \nThis is one of two live streams taking place as part of partnership between Neighbourhood Dance Works (NDW) and NAC Dance through #DanceForth. #DanceForth is the new NAC Dance livestream project. Most Thursday evenings\, live performances will be presented by a variety of wonderful Canadian dance artists\, both from the NAC Fourth Stage and from various centres across the country. \nChoreographers and dancers with a terrific range of styles will be sharing with you directly through this series that embraces a new model to celebrate this rich and dynamic art form. Please tune in with us to discover the breadth and talent of Canada’s outstanding dance milieu. \nThis performance will be live streamed from the historic LSPU hall on November 19 at 7pm NT (3:30pm MT). \nLearn more.

SUMMARY:AGO LIVE: THE LEFT SPACE
DESCRIPTION:In a time of global political uprisings\, we have had to learn to self-isolate and maintain physical distance from one another. Faced with a global pandemic\, we have had to re-imagine the ways that we gather\, protest and how we achieve critical mass. The Left Space is a new digital commission by internationally renowned artist Brendan Fernandes\, created specifically for this moment in time and for the AGO\, that considers how we\, the global left\, have found ourselves in this predicament.  \nDeveloped and choreographed for webcam and the grid formation of Zoom\, custom backdrops by graphic designer Jerome Harris and on-and-off camera sequences will intervene and aesthetically connect a team of dancers from Hit and Run Productions performing from their homes around the world\, with a score by DJ Karsten Sollors. Reaching out and signaling to one another with the choreography and engaging with protest slogans incorporated into each’s changing background\, the performers and audiences will question the potential for online platforms to re-create the social solidarity experienced in physical gatherings. \nThe performance will be followed by an interview between the artist and Bojana Stancic\, AGO Assistant Curator\, Live Projects and Performance. \nGet your tickets now!

SUMMARY:Fluid All Fall launches with Dancing at Dusk - A Moment with Pina Bausch's The Rite of Spring
DESCRIPTION:Springboard Performance is thrilled to present Pina Bausch’s stunning interpretation of The Rite of Spring (1975) as part of the Fluid All Fall programming. \nIn spring 2020\, Pina Bausch’s 1975 seminal work\, The Rite of Spring\, was due to tour the world. Performed by a specially assembled company of 38 dancers from 14 African countries\, this international co-production between Sadler’s Wells (UK)\, Pina Bausch Foundation (Germany)\, and École des Sables (Senegal)\, should have opened in March 2020 in Dakar as part of a double-bill with a new work created and performed by Malou Airaudo and Germaine Acogny\, common ground[s]. However\, just days before the premiere\, performances were cancelled as governments around the world banned public gatherings and began shutting their borders due to the Coronavirus pandemic. Before disbanding and going into lockdown\, the company seized the moment by performing  a last rehearsal on a beach near their base  at École des Sables in  Senegal.  Filmmaker Florian Heinzen-Ziob  and his crew were able to capture this  unique  moment  in a stunning film. \nFaithful to Stravinsky’s composition\, this seminal work examines the power of ritual and sacrifice\, as a young woman is chosen to mark the changing seasons. This film is a remarkable achievement in so many ways; it’s visceral\, beautifully shot\, lovingly detailed\, luscious visuals and powerful themes. You will not want to miss this rare opportunity to see timeless dance work reimagined. \nLIVE WEBCAST: OCTOBER 21 – 28\, 2020 \nGet your tickets now! \nIMPORTANT\nThe viewing link that you will receive by email will be valid between October 21 and 28\, 2020\, at the time of your choice. \nAfter signing up and purchasing your ticket\, you will receive a confirmation email from Lepointdevente.

SUMMARY:Mile Zero Dance: The Spine Folds\, Far Away (eryn tempest)
DESCRIPTION: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. \nArtist Biography\neryn 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. \nProgram Credits\neryn tempest: choreography\, performance\, sound\, editing\nRico Moran: cinematography\nThea Patterson: dramaturgical consultation\nTechnical Director: Trent Crosby\nDigital Front of House: Elise Jason \nSpecial thanks to:\nHal Annett\, Deb Tempest\, Jesse Tempest\, Chris Bateman\, Stephanie Bailey \neryn would like to acknowledge the generous support of \nMile Zero Dance\nFAVA- Film and Video Arts Society of Alberta\nCanada Council for the Arts

SUMMARY:DJD Signature Program: Fall For Dance North Festival
DESCRIPTION:It’s not too late to see DJD in action!\nDJD performed in the Fall For Dance North Festival in their Signature Program\, which premiered online on Saturday\, October 3\, 2020. You can still watch this amazing program which features six world premieres by a diverse range of Canadian choreographers\, including a new piece by DJD’s Artistic Director Kimberley Cooper\, featuring Sabrina Comanescu\, Catherine Hayward\, Kaja Irwin and Natasha Korney\, with live music by Rubim de Toledo with Jim Brennan (sax) Raul Gomez Tabera (drums) Jon McCaslin (vibraphone) Bob Tildesley (trumpet) \nDJD performed a premiere of a new work from Beautiful Noise titled Terra. Terra\, the name of this tune composed for DJD by Brazilian bassist Rubim de Toledo\, means earth in Portuguese. Driven and grounded movement creates the core of the work. At times the dancers seem to pull the rhythm out of the floor; at other times they push it in. They dance as though on a hot surface\, or one that is taut and resilient. The dancers and musicians converse constantly\, yet it’s not necessarily about what each is saying but about what hangs in the air between them. \nThe program is available on demand until October 18\, 2020. \nFor more information and to get your tickets visit the Fall For Dance North Festival event website!
