Join for the first show of their season opening this Thursday!

✨Dances: At the Edge of Understanding✨
September 15th and 16th
Performances at 6:00 pm and 7:30 pm

The Warehouse Gallery Parking Lot
1635 W. St Paul Ave.

This site-specific performance, inspired by the ideas of South African visual artist, William Kentridge, Dances: At the Edge of Understanding explores and draws upon Kentridge’s distinct art-making process and his world of ideas. Set in the adjacent parking lot of The Warehouse Gallery and exhibition of Kentridge’s work, the performance unfolds in a choreography of translation, or as Kentridge would say “mistranslation”. A collage forms and falls apart, fragments fly into action, a big drawing happens, gestures sweep, dancers are erased. Threading steps build into procession, progress evolves in smudged layers, a panther appears and paces, a garage door closes before the end, whimsical uncertainty, and a satisfying ambiguity settles. Dances evolve from peripheral thinking, mistakes are beloved, everything repeats, sort of.

Created as a triptych, the dances are performed simultaneously with audiences relocating in the sequence of their choice.

Collaborators: Founding Director, Debra Loewen and Co-Artistic Director, Dan Schuchart

Live Music: Tim Russell

“We become more aware of our form. We connect to the sense of the endlessness of possibilities. We explore multi-dimensional movement; we enjoy the burning sensation in our muscles, we are ready to snap, we are aware of our explosive power and sometimes we use it. We change our movement habits by finding new ones. We go beyond our familiar limits. We can be calm and alert at once.” – Ohad Naharin.
