| Dreamwalker Dance/ Andrea Nann |
Dreamwalker Dance/Andrea Nann Beside Each Other (excerpt) A Dreamwalker Dance Company & Young Centre for the Performing Arts Production Beside Each Other is a 60 minute dance work inspired by and featuring the music and poetry of Gord Downie (The Tragically Hip), as heard in his solo projects Coke Machine Glow and Battle of the Nudes. The work is comprised of a series of intimate and potent duets, performed by two of Canada’s leading contemporary dance artists Andrea Nann and Brendan Wyatt. Dreamwalker Dance Company Led by artistic director Andrea Nann, Dreamwalker Dance Company celebrates the transcendent qualities of dance as a means of communication while recognizing the inherently collaborative nature of the art form. Works in the company repertoire are created with dancers, writers, poets, songwriters, illustrators, filmmakers, sculptors, painters, calligraphers, potters, composers, digital media artsts, lighting designers, costume designers, theatre directors and musicians who come together in various configurations to explore and share human experiences.

| Edmond Kilpatrick Vancouver, BC |
Everything is All Right A year ago I went into the alone with the aim to challenge myself to become a better dancer. I needed to shed old patterns of moving. Free myself to move the way my body innately wants to and allow it to express itself naturally and easily. This solo is the fruit of the beginning of a new journey. I would like to thank Wen Wei Wang and Peter Bingham for guiding the way to something different. Choreographer Bio Edmond Kilpatrick is a Vancouver dancer, choreographer and teacher. Trained at the Royal Winnipeg Ballet School he has danced with both Les Grands Ballets Canadiens and for 9 seasons with Ballet BC. He has also spent 8 years as an independent contemporary dancer in Vancouver. Most recently Edmond has been dancing with Wen Wei Dance. |

| Katy Harris-McLeod | Hazel (1954) Hazel (1954) draws parallels between extreme weather patterns/natural disasters and the repressed rage of a stereotypical female character. In addition to voice and movement, the piece uses a small model of a city, created by sculptor Dominic Fontaine, worn on the body to explore concepts of scale and power. Hazel (1954) was created in August 2009 as part of the Launch Pad dramaturgy program on the North Shore. It began as an exploration of scale (that of the body of the performer juxtaposed against the small city created by the sculptor). From there, themes of natural destruction and the reactions of humans to such events began to emerge. The piece combines characters, advice for survival, and architectural notes on the structural stability of buildings with movement and dance. In January 2010, Hazel (1954) was performed in Halifax at the Kinetic Studio Series. Each time the piece is presented it grows and shifts slightly, this time with the addition of a wider girth and a very small participant along for the ride. Choreographer Bio Katy Harris-McLeod is a founding member of The Tomorrow Collective with whom she created and produces the popular multidisciplinary series Brief Encounters: “artistic blind date meet creation under-the-gun”. With the collective she has commissioned and performed work by Susan Elliott and Chick Snipper, as well as collaborated with various Vancouver-based filmmakers and musicians. As an independent artist, Katy has danced in the work of Josh Beamish, Martha Carter, Tara Cheyenne Friedenberg, David Pressault, Jennifer Clarke and Justine Chambers among others. As a creator, she has choreographed several solos and as a theatre artist she has worked on numerous projects with Radix Theatre including the Jessie Award winning piece “Assembly”. Katy will also be performing in Copy (Justine Chambers and Josh Hite) July 18th-20th at the Roundhouse. www.tomorrowcollective.com |
