Dance Montage – 50th Anniversary

In its fifty years, Dance Montage has showcased the work of almost 300 Calgary choreographers, and 3000 dancers have filled the University Theatre stage. There are now generations of Montage dancers!
This year’s production includes choreographies by:
Hailey McLeod with Krista White (dance for +50), Ishita Singla – Madhuban Performing Arts (Rajasthani Indian folk dance), Julie Funk (modern dance), Morgan O-Neill Sharp (jazz), Tina Guthrie (jazz fusion), Robyn Harris (Jump Rhythm inspired jazz), Tara Wilson (hip hop).

Umbrella Girl
2019-11-02 20:00 - 21:30 (America/Edmonton) | The GRAND, 608 1 ST SW, Calgary, Alberta, T2P 1M6, Canada
“Turn on your television or flip through your LIFE magazine and there we are! We are the happy, comfortable and exuberant family of the perfect era. As perfect as Mother’s apple pie, as reliable as your Chevrolet, as tasteful as your Edwards coffee… You know us well. Or do you?
“We define our identity always in dialogue with, sometimes in struggle against, the things our significant others want to see in us,” said Charles Taylor.
Woven through tap, body percussion, contemporary dance and theatre, this is a story of these dialogues, and our all-consuming effort to maintain our identities in the eyes of those who shape the visions of who we need to be.
You will hear us speak, loud and clear.”

Running Piece by Grand Poney presented by Mile Zero Dance
2019-11-01 20:00 - 22:00 (America/Edmonton) | Westbury Theatre, 10330 84 Avenue, Edmonton, Alberta, T5H 2E3, Canada
Running Piece from Montreal’s Jacques Poulin-Denis AKA Grand Poney is a bold work for dancer and treadmill. On this confined yet infinite space, a man travels without leaving, constantly forced to go forward. He moves through the situations and moments that define us. On the path of humanity and civilization, or on the transit to work, we are the high hope joggers, the overly capable multi-taskers, and the compulsive lateness sufferers.
“Running Piece’s endless belt reminds me of the ouroboros, the cyclical symbol of a snake eating its own tail. This paradox, where life and death mutually feed on each, reminds me of our perverse desire to somehow master time,” says Poulin-Denis.
Poulin-Denis is a composer, choreographer, director and performer. Undertaking projects that blur the boundaries between dance, music and theater, he creates humanistic and uncanny works that are both sensorial and thought provoking.
Based in Montreal, Grand Poney was established by Jacques Poulin-Denis, and has performed Running Piece recently in France, Germany, and Italy. Originally from Saskatoon, this will be Poulin-Denis’ first time performing in Edmonton, while taking Running Piece on a prairie Canadian tour. He will perform in Edmonton for one night only!

MZD MOVEMENT INTENSIVES
Accessible movement workshops taught by world-renowned instructors. For beginners and professional dancers.
FALL October 27-30 | Sunday 11am -4pm, Monday-Wednesday 10am – 1pm
Noguchi Taiso Workshop with Mari Osanai
$175 for all four classes or $50/day
Mari Osanai will be traveling from Japan to perform and teach at Mile Zero Dance. Noguchi Taiso (Water Body movement) has been widely appreciated and incorporated/integrated into Butoh movement practice.
Mari Osanai’s workshop focuses on Noguchi Taiso combined with the influences of her early training in Tai Chi, western dance methods, traditional folk dance in Aomori, Japan (her birthplace), and the connection between one’s thoughts and sensation of weight. Osanai’s approach to movement research and exploration begins with a heightened awareness of gravity’s influence on the body and the body’s connection with the center of the earth. Exercises in the workshop train the body to embrace its weight and heighten its sensitivity to move from its most relaxed and receptive state. Starting with images, such as washing the body with water, air, sunlight, workshop participants will discover the body’s vital energies rooted in its inherent hydrodynamics. Movement and form result as participants ingest imagery inside their bodies and allow the changes to shift the body’s interior.
Registration closes Friday, October 25. Phone 780 424 1573/ admin@milezerodance.com
This workshop is made possible through the generous of Alberta Dance Alliance

Oblivion by Mari Osanai presented by Mile Zero Dance
2019-10-26 20:00 - 21:30 (America/Edmonton) | Spazio Performativo, 10816 95 ST NW, Edmonton, AB, T5H 2E3, Canada
This season, Mile Zero Dance (MZD) is harnessing the power and creativity of the human body in the fight against climate change. Virtuoso Japanese dancer and choreographer, Mari Osanai, will open our Dance Crush series with her body-mind movement piece Oblivion.
Osanai’s post-butoh dance transforms space and time in a deep ritual of embodiment. She has been touring North America and performing this piece as a solo production featuring masks, doll stage art, and lighting design created with visual artist Shohei Yamashita who will be traveling to Edmonton from Japan exclusively for this show.
“Mari’s movement is fluid like water, and her effect on viewers is incredibly positive and emotional,” says Gerry Morita, Artistic Director of MZD. “We are thrilled to have her and Shohei in Edmonton next month. Edmontonians are in for a treat.”
Osanai’s heightened awareness of gravity’s influence on the body and her deep connection with the natural world is based on her technique of Noguchi Taiso—a form of physical training that supports new ways of movement to improve efficiency while letting go of unnecessary tensions. The performance also interweaves dance styles such as ballet, modern dance, jazz, Tai Chi, and traditional folk dance.
Tickets are $20 for members and $25 for non-members. For tickets, visit: https://oblivion-mari-osanai.eventbrite.ca. For more information, visit: http://milezerodance.com/2017/2019-international-dance-crush/
