What is Rewriting Distance?
Rewriting Distance is a performance/workshop practice, created by Lin Snelling and Guy Cools with photographer Michael Reinhart that allows participants to tell stories, dance, and write.
This period of Rewriting Distance continues to be about returning … going back to places we have been/and collaborating with artists we have worked with before, but in a new site-specific location. This performance is also accompanied by a Symposium at the Timms Centre for the Arts, and a Performance Intensive at Mile Zero Dance.
The performances of Rewriting Distance investigate what it means to revisit a place through cycles of dancing, speaking, reading, writing, and watching that recreates a live history of the places and communities in which the performance takes place. Cools and Snelling initiated this artistic project originally based on walking through cities after meeting in 2003 during the Vooruit Danse en Avant event presented by Agora de la danse in Montreal.
“This performance cycle of Rewriting Distance is based on returning to places where we have been and continuing to collaborate with artists in the community,” says Snelling. “What are we telling each other now? What are the various and multiple narratives of a group of people that come together?”
Performers:
Guy Cools, Stephanie Cumming, Piet Defraeye, Gerry Morita, Lin Snelling.

Conference participants will be greeted at 9:30AM with complimentary coffee and tea. The morning session will begin with a floor barre class followed by an improvisation exercise. The floor barre class is an excellent way to introduce technique and conditioning for dancers both in schools and at studios. Following the floor barre class, the morning sessions will engage both studio and classroom teachers through sessions inspired by the creative process, technique and classroom management. The afternoon session will begin with a class on mindfulness and the choreographic process. In the afternoon conference participants will partake in stretch class and the day will conclude with a special guest speaker. Our mobile shop will also be set up so you can purchase all of our resources at the conference. You will leave the conference with a plethora of exercises, activities and strategies and skills, just enough to revive your engines and re inspire you to be the best dance educator you can be.

Interactive Symposium – Ecologies of Together
2019-08-19 09:00 - 18:00 | University of Alberta, 1-047 Lister Centre, Edmonton, Alberta, T6G 2H6, Canada
Mile Zero Dance presents: Interactive Symposium with Thea Patterson and Jeremy Gordaneer as part of the Rewriting Distance Residency
Monday August 19, 9 am-6 pm
University of Alberta/Timms Rehearsal Hall
Free
Featuring speaker and performers:
Cindy Baker
Guy Cools
Tyson Frencheater and Camille Renarhd
Rebecca John
Xavia Publius
_______________________________
Ecologies of Together: An Interactive Symposium proposes a “gathering” where academics and artists come together to heighten dialogue and practice around experiential learning and embodied performance practice.
The day will be divided into two parts. The morning will be devised as a working performative action and participatory event. The second part of the day will turn from participation to reception through performances, lectures and hybrid forms of each.
Morning session: Choreographies of Togethering (9:30 am-1:00 pm)
Togethering proposes a space where participant practitioners and researchers move through a scored series of activations and tasks that create a performative relational frame where many actions co-exist to create an ecology of shared space, which becomes a choreography of multiple voices and actions overlapping and resonating in the spaces between them. Participants will be invited to join a simple performance score that includes dancing, writing, assisting each other, reading, drawing, listening, looking, talking, gazing, spectating, and potential others. This event, open to anyone with an interest in the intersection of performance, theory and community agency, will allow participants to engage with the proposition in the manner and degree they want, and to maintain agency over their experience. ParticIpants are encouraged to wear comfy clothes and bring writing and reading material.
1:00 pm-2:30 pm – lunch
Afternoon session: Together in reception (2:30 pm-6:00 pm)
The second part of the day will turn from participation to reception as six invited guests share their artistic research, theoretical work, and performative practices as sites for affective and alternative reception. This event will follow a dramaturgy of the senses that will traverse horizontality and verticality, seeing and not seeing, and sound and silence. The invited speakers will be asked to define the terms of their own presentations based on how to engage the audience reception of the work through multi-sensorial access points.
The presenters will be:
Cindy Baker
Guy Cools
Tyson Frencheater and Camille Renharhd
Rebecca John
Xavia Publius

ADA Community Workshop: How to Dance Flamenco with Live Music
2019-07-24 19:00 - 21:00 | Evergreen Community Spaces Dance Studio, 1709 8 Avenue NE, Calgary, Alberta, T2E 5W5, Canada
Learn how to take material taught in flamenco class and apply it to a performance or community jam situation (which is always accompanied by live music). Students rarely take their dance out of the classroom and as such do not experience the beauty, joy and extent of the art form. This workshop bridges that gap.
There is currently no existing flamenco jam scene in Calgary. Through this workshop we wish to create confidence and interest in such an event. The primary goal is to understand the dialogue and communication tools used between dancers and musicians, which is best explained through having a flamenco guitarist/singer in class themselves. Guitarist/singer Ricardo Sánchez (Mexico City) has a wonderful didactic approach and knowledge of accompaniment and has been invited to teach with us in this workshop rich with purpose and live demos.
