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:Papillon
DESCRIPTION:MILE ZERO DANCE PRESENTS\nPapillon\nWe All Fall Down Productions (Montreal) \nStreet and contemporary dance collide as three dancers weave in and out of sync\, supported by a live\, hypnotic musical soundtrack that blends the sounds and rhythms of jazz\, hip-hop and drum’n’bass. \nThis show will run for two evenings!\nFriday\, September 26 + Saturday\, September 27\n7:30 PM\n$30 MZD Members/ $35 General Admission \nLocation:\nMILE ZERO DANCE\n9931 78 Ave NW\nEdmonton\, AB \nStreet and contemporary dance collide in this innovative performance\, as three dancers weave in and out of sync through a complex choreographic partition\, supported by a live\, hypnotic musical soundtrack that blends the sounds and rhythms of jazz\, hip-hop and drum’n’bass. \nInspired by chaos theory and complex mathematical equations\, PAPILLON is an emotional\, engulfing reflection on order and disorder\, singularity and similarity\, loneliness and togetherness\, metamorphosis\, and the importance of human connection.

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.

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/

And in this cabaret tonight\, we dare to dream about what is to come. What could be coming up on our horizon? Let’s take a glimpse into some possibilities! \nConnections//Collisions Cabaret features artists:\nJody Faulkner\nHemali Boorada\nMpoe Mogale\nDahlia Waller\nJackie Latendresse\nStephanie Lilley\nRainier Pearl-Styles\nBand: Kaeley Jade\nVisual Artist: Liza Xenzova \nhttps://milezerodance.com/event/connections-collisions-cabaret-7/
