SUMMARY:MZD Zero Lab #2: Marynia Fekecz-Mangan | COME HELL OR HIGH WATER
DESCRIPTION:Mile Zero Dance Zero Labs \nThis new curatorial initiative by Mile Zero Dance features local artists/groups who receive production residency support in our Warehouse venue\, and present their new work in process. Join us for Zero Lab #2 featuring international choreographer\, Penelope Morout (CROSS IMPACT Co.) and producer/performer | Marynia Fekecz-Mangan (MfMdanceArtist)! \nZero Lab #2: Marynia Fekecz-Mangan | COME HELL OR HIGH WATER\nChoreographer | Penelope Morout | CROSS IMPACT Co.\nZero Lab producer/dancer | Marynia Fekecz-Mangan (MfMdanceArtist) \nMAY 9+ MAY 10\nTickets | $25/$20 MZD Members\nor all Zero Labs for $50\n7:30 PM\nMZD is located at 9931 78 Ave NW \nCOME HELL OR HIGH WATER is a tribute to freedom in its pure essence. Inspired by the poems of Mary Oliver’s “Wild Geese” as well as of Maya Angelou’s “Caged Bird”\, our heroes co-exist within the premises of a cabin in the woods\, perpetually trying to protect their crop and send the birds away. Oscillating between reality and fiction\, the dream and the nightmare\, they confide personal stories and test the boundaries between society’s rigid expectations and their own free will. \nTICKETS: https://milezerodance.com/event/the-zero-lab-come-hell-or-high-water-1/

SUMMARY:Flamenco ... at the Yardbird ... at the DJD Dance Centre
DESCRIPTION:A collaboration between Claire Marchand\, Jane Ogilvie and Rosanna Terracciano \nExperience Flamenco live and up close in an intimate evening of Flamenco dance\, guitar\, piano\, rhythm and song. \nSpanish Flamenco singer and percussionist Francisco Orozco “Yiyi” joins leading Canadian Flamenco dancers and musicians\, from across the Prairies to the west coast: Claire Marchand\, Jane Ogilvie\, Rosanna Terracciano and guitarist Peter Mole; in a dynamic collaboration not to be missed. \nFlamenco dancers Claire Marchand (Winnipeg/Vancouver)\, Jane Ogilvie (Edmonton/Calgary) and Rosanna Terracciano (Calgary) have explored their own creative trajectories since meeting years ago as emerging dancers. Now\, as established artists\, each has played an integral role in establishing a flamenco presence in Western Canada. Though their paths have crossed as artists\, colleagues and friends in many ways over the years\, post-pandemic they decided it was time to formally create a project where they would have the chance to collaborate. \nTheir first project Flamenco at the Yardbird was presented to a sold out audience in 2024 with invited guests\, Vancouver flamenco guitarist and dance accompanist Peter Mole and Spanish singer Celedonio Garrido. This year they return to the Yardbird for two nights and with a new performance\, including returning guitarist Peter Mole and new guest Spanish singer/percussionist Francisco Orozco “Yiyi”\, taking the show on the road to their hometowns of Edmonton\, Calgary and Winnipeg. \nABOUT THE ARTISTS \nFrancisco Orozco “Yiyi” was born in Barcelona to an Andalusian family. Trained by his flamenco singer father “Joselón de Jerez”\, he performs internationally as a flamenco singer and percussionist. \nClaire Marchand has performed across Canada and internationally. \nPeter Mole’s raw yet lyrical guitar style comes alive when accompanying dance. He recently released his debut album “La Luna y el Viento.” \nJane Ogilvie is a lifelong pianist and a 2023 recipient of the Edmonton Artist’s Trust Fund Award for dance. \nRosanna Terracciano\, winner of the 2017 Jacqueline Lemieux Prize\, has been presented throughout Canada and Europe\, including at the Bienal de Flamenco (Seville).

SUMMARY:Confession Publique | MAYDAY (Montreal)
DESCRIPTION:Mile Zero Dance presents:\nConfession Publique\nMAYDAY (Montreal) \nIts title serving as a promise\, Confession Publique explores ambiguity and paradox\, probes the noble and the vulgar\, oscillates between grace and brutality. \nTuesday\, October 14\n7:30 PM\n$30/$35 \nLocation:\nMILE ZERO DANCE\n9931 78 Ave NW\nEdmonton\, AB \nCONFESSION PUBLIQUE \nConfession Publique is an autobiographical solo that has never seen the light of day. Luckily\, Angélique Willkie has rekindled interest in this artistic object previously consigned to obscurity. Confession Publique has now taken on the guise of an offering to her. This intimate dive into self-interrogation is now a two-person operation. From now on\, Angélique is its muse\, and it is her mysteries that form and structure what the work confides in us\, a work where introspection has no choice but to come face-to-face with its inevitable opponent\, confession. \nIn this work\, we take on the themes of privacy and secrecy\, delving into the marshy depths of the psyche in a revolt against the vulgar self-exposure that bombards us every day. We examine the nobility and elegance to be found in the ways we acknowledge our shortcomings\, our flaws\, and our manufacturing defects. We try to see confession as a poetic gesture\, a necessity\, a small concession to our vanity. \nThe protagonist concentrates on the margins as she takes a deep dive into herself and ourselves. The connection is intimate\, intimidating. The performance becomes the setting for questions asked a thousand times over: our relationship to the world\, how the environment holds our destinies in its hands\, and the power others have to dictate and dominate our life-choices. \nAmidst grand declarations and petty confessions\, doubts and half-truths\, the shadowy zones of the psyche confront reality and take on verbal form in words spectacular or trivial\, meaningless or visionary. We immerse ourselves in a duel between intimacy and publicity. It’s through this crack that we observe our shortcomings\, nurse our scars\, and contemplate our faults. Because it’s in our flaws\, our fractures\, and our fissures that we are at our most authentic. And dance is the best way to glue all these pieces back together. \nThe show features the ghostly yet earthy musical presence of Frannie Holder and her electroacoustic soundscape. Their voices tinged with just a tad of nostalgia\, Frannie and Angélique form a celestial combination that strangely conveys a biting message\, imbued with the spirit of a nursery rhyme but breathing like a hymn.

SUMMARY:East Side Dance Festival Teacher Training Conference
DESCRIPTION:“Kicking Up a Fuss”  \nDance as a Catylyst for Social Justice \nThis year’s conference theme is inspired by two powerful documentary films that explore the historic court case of Charles Daniels\, a civil rights activist who was denied his theatre seat in 1914 simply for being Black. The case was brought against James A. Lougheed and W.B. Sherman\, owner and manager of Calgary’s Sherman Grand Theatre. \nWe are honoured to welcome Cheryl Foggo—local historian\, author\, and filmmaker—who will present her documentary Kicking Up a Fuss: The Charles Daniels Story. Featuring original transcripts\, archival images\, and other primary sources\, this film reminds us that Alberta’s history is shaped by often-overlooked\, yet deeply inspiring heroes. \nIn the follow-up film\, We Call Him Sir Charles\, produced by the Grand Theatre\, Calgary’s Poet Laureate Wakefield Brewster\, and professional tap dancer Lisa La Touche offer personal reflections on Daniels’ legacy through spoken word and dance.  Directed by Cheryl Foggo and with cinematography by Joel Varjassy\, this moving tribute celebrates Charles Daniels’ courage and enduring impact. \nFollowing the screenings\, a panel discussion with all three artists will delve into their creative processes and explore how Alberta’s history continues to shape our collective identity. \nWe hope this year’s offerings—including the documentary screenings\, keynote address\, networking opportunities\, and a diverse lineup of instructors and speakers—will energize your teaching practice\, enrich your professional toolkit\, and provide tangible\, socially conscious resources to elevate your dance pedagogy.
