SUMMARY:SELFIE CONCERT | Ivo Dimchev
DESCRIPTION:Ivo Dimchev (Bulgaria)\nSELFIE CONCERT\nFebruary 4 | 7:30 PM\n$25 GENERAL/$20 MEMBERS \nEvent location | MZD’s new space located at 9931 78 Ave NW\, Edmonton \n \nPlease note\, you must be an MZD Member to attend this event. The purchase of a general admission ticket includes an MZD Membership for the 22-23 Season! \n“Selfie is a choreography\, selfie is a sculpture\, selfie is a tragedy\, selfie is love. Selfie is less about me\, it’s more about us.” – Ivo Dimchev \nSelfie Concert is the most recent work of Ivo Dimchev and is part of a series of performances in which Dimchev investigates different ways of interacting with the audience. In P Project (2012)\, Dimchev paid the audience to perform with him on stage\, while in Facebook Theatre (2016) the performance was based on texts written by spectators on real time in social media\, which the author considers an endless source of content and interaction. \nA Selfie Concert suggests an altering of the relationship between the audience and the performer\, a different way of sharing. Selfie simply shows. It does not explain\, it is evidence. However\, the selfie is also a reason to be together\, to be close physically. Selfie is an instrument for making the monotonic dramaturgy of the concert more alive – and for breaking it.

A dance double-bill with a solo by Vancouver based artists Sarah U and a duet by Collective Artists Alida Kendell and Alison Kause. \nAbout Silent Howl by Sarah U \nSilent Howl is a multimedia performance that showcases a visual representation of brain activities in neurodiverse individuals. Sarah lives with a seizure disorder\, and while I am drenched of having to advocate constantly\, for myself in the extremely physically demanded dance world\, I find my condition a “gift” in certain times. As I am able to notice nuances in the blend everyday life\, and to feel every experience deeply and fully\, and passionately. \nIn this work\, we highlight neurodiversity and attempt give pride to people who have a different capacity in brain and sensory processes. Even though we live in extremes\, our world is so enriching and powerful. By sharing insights to the challenges of neurodiverse individuals\, we hope this is the beginning of more conversations\, understanding\, and inclusivity for neurodiverse folks. \nThe team: \nSarah Hin Ching U (dancer\, lead creator)\, Alexandra Caprara (animation designer)\, Jackson Adrian (sound composer) \nAbout there we are. There. by Good Women Dance Collective \nthere we are. There. is a premiere duet choreographed by GWDC collective artists Alison Kause and Alida Kendell. Absurdity\, intimacy and existence are explored by two entities who never leave each other’s side. Together they inhabit their world in ways that are recognizable yet slightly off kilter. They talk straight and sit crooked. They are in between\, unravelling\, navigating and arriving. \nThe team: \nCreated and performed: Alida Kendell and Alison Kause; Sound design: Caleb Nelson; Costume design: Tamara Bliss; Light design: Skye Grinde; Outside eye: Molly McDermott \nCONVERGENCE 2023 \nThursday\, November 16th at 7:30 pm\n– This show will have ASL interpretation + Creative Caption and artist talk back.\nFriday\, November 17th at 7:30 pm\nSaturday\, November 18th at 4:00 pm\n– This show will have elements of a relaxed performance. \n\n\nLOCATION\nWestbury Theatre\, T6E 2G9

SUMMARY:DISPLACED - W & M Physical Theatre
DESCRIPTION:DISPLACED \nW & M Physical Theatre’s newest physical theatre work\, Displaced\, was initially conceptualized in 2020 as an exploration of place and home. As voluntary immigrants to Canada and travellers in our work as artists\, we’ve come to understand the impact of leaving our homeland and how that affects family\, language\, cultural specifics and the physical landscape that defines home for us. \nDisplaced is not just a performance\, it’s an emotional journey. It delves into the complex mix of feelings that come with cross-cultural experiences\, the thrill of adventure\, the expansion of knowledge\, but also the pangs of loss\, the yearning for ‘belonging\,’ and the deep\, visceral longing for home. It’s a journey that explores the resilience of the human spirit\, our ability to adapt to new environments\, and the remarkable capacity of humans to form new bonds of support and kinship. \nThe performance opens with the premiere of the short film “Displaced” followed by the stage performance of the work\, which marks the premiere of both. \nFeaturing Guest Artist Izabela Zawadzka (Poland)\, with 14 W&M Physical Theatre and WM2 performers. \n  \nPERFORMANCE DETAILS \nDates\nMarch 23\, 2024 at 07:00 PM\nMarch 24\, 2024 at 02:00 PM \nLocation\nDJD Dance Centre\n111 12 Avenue S.E. Calgary\, Alberta
