Focused on developing capacity for internal sensations this gentle and restorative movement practice is accessible to all bodies.

SUMMARY:Thinking Body Fall 2020 Online Session #2
DESCRIPTION:Please see below for more information about these sessions from instructor Isabelle Rousseau. \nI am excited to announce the Fall Session for Thinking Body online classes. \nAs some of you know\, I’ve been developing a more personal approach to the practice of the Syntonics created by Judith Koltaï\, whose own teaching stems from Thérèse Bertherat\, Françoise Mézières\, Charlotte Selver and Elsa Gindler. \nIn this class\, you will be introduced to getting feedback from your own body and letting itself rebalance through the use of “test positions” sustained in slow\, anatomically optimal positions. This accessible practice is self-regulating on the nervous system and also readily available to all. We will also spend time studying the minutiae of posture and movement coordination\, and get familiar with ways to expand range of motion with sensory input as we become more intimate with our skeleton and its properties. \nThe class is injury-free and can be practiced by all as a “prequel” to any health and training protocol\, no matter where you are on your journey to a deeper relationship to your whole self. I look forward to working with you in class. \nClasses will run from November 3rd to December 8th 2020. Classes are twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5 pm to 6 pm MT via Zoom. \nRegistration fees are $110 for 12 classes (recorded classes available if needed).  \nTo register\, please send a message to me at this address: irousseau.moveandbemoved@gmail.com

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.

I look forward to working with you in class. \nClasses will run from November 3rd to December 8th 2020. Classes are twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5 pm to 6 pm MT via Zoom. \nRegistration fees are $110 for 12 classes (recorded classes available if needed).  \nTo register\, please send a message to me at this address: irousseau.moveandbemoved@gmail.com

SUMMARY:Made Up - A Dance Film Installation by Associate Artist Linnea Swan
DESCRIPTION:Dancers’ Studio West presents Made Up\, a dance film installation by 2018-2020 Associate Artist Linnea Swan.\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this Event\n\n\nProjecting images of the female body through multiple layers of tulle\, a fabric traditionally associated with the wedding gown and a dancer’s tutu\, choreographer/filmmaker Linnea Swan’s Made Up\, examines the hyperbolic feminine to question the binary construct of the male/female gaze. Working significantly with tight framing and close ups\, Swan draws the viewer to follow her own gaze\, one which is complicated by the historical impact of female subjectivity in narrative art forms. \n\n\nA word from Sasha Ivanochko\, Artistic Director of DSW: \nDancers’ Studio West just celebrated our 40th anniversary. Over the years\, the organization’s profile has shifted and our programming has varied considerably. As a result\,  I think there continues to be some confusion about who we are\, what we do and what Contemporary dance is! \nOur programming emerges from a desire to support artists at every stage of career\, while offering opportunities for the general public to deepen their appreciation of Contemporary dance. Our associated artists are encouraged to deep-dive into their questions and curiosities\, and to share their research and work as a way to support dance literacy. \nIt has been a real honour to collaborate with Linnea throughout her two-year term as Associate Artist. I’ve always been excited by the  interdisciplinary nature of her work\, and it is her experience as a filmmaker which has enabled her to transform her project when COVID-19 fell upon us. She likes to use the word “collision” when describing her process and use of materials\, which include the dancer’s body\, film and tulle fabric. And that we can present this dance film installation safely for small groups of people during this incredibly isolating pandemic is a really good feeling. \n\n\nCreated by Linnea Swan\, DSW Associate Artist \nWith collaboration by Tania Alvarado\, Nicole Charlton Goodbrand\, and Meghann Michalsky \nLighting design by Steve Isom \nPoster designed by Deanna Peters/Mutable Subject \nPromotional photo by Alexander J. Slobodian \nPR and Marketing by Aldona B. Creative \n\n\nMade Up is presented as a dance film installation in the Studio Theatre at cSPACE King Edward\, located on the west end of the ground floor of this historic building. There are multiple screening/viewing times per show date\, with a limit of ten patrons per showing.

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.

You do not need any dance experience\, only a willingness to try and have fun! \nThese four classes will be live-streamed on Zoom for four-weeks in November. After each class\, I will ask each participant to fill out a survey to share their feedback. The survey will be available online and I can also call folks to receive your feedback if an online survey is not accessible to you. \nFine Details\nDates: Fridays\, November 6\, 13\, 20\, 27\, 2020\, from 4:45 – 5:30pm (MDT)\nLocation: Live-streamed on Zoom\nCost: Free to participate \nAn ASL interpreter provided by FLIC will be provided for each class. \nPlease email any questions to Kyra at blissfuldanceclass@gmail.com. \nGet more information here! \nRegister now!

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.
