We have also re-envisioned Youth Moves. With a commitment to providing development opportunities for youth and with the desire to bring students together, we are moving forward this year with a single, full-length work created by Lacey Smith from Dasein Dance. You will not want to miss this spectacular event,

This June, Guelph Dance celebrates its 21st Festival! Over the last 20

years, we have worked with arts groups, community organizations and countless individuals in order to bring to Guelph the very best contemporary dance performances as well as meaningful arts education and community engagement opportunities.

Our community, as any other, is ever changing and evolving; therefore, staying connected with all our partners, audiences and participants is crucial when programming. The Guelph of 20 years ago was quite different from the Guelph of 2019. We never stop having conversations, developing partnerships, implementing new ideas and occasionally leaving behind programs that no longer resonate with the community. Being connected to our community has informed this year’s programming in many ways: really thinking about the ways in which we engage with people of different abilities, providing

In the ParkCORPUS Dance Projects TORONTOCamping Royal 2013Choreographers: Carolin Lindner and David Danzon

Two queens from a different time go on an absurd camping trip, far away from court. Without servants, they will have to use their creativity to survive in the wild. Their castle is reduced to basic tents, royal dances have to be executed on grass, one needs to fish for lunch and cope with the unpredictable whims of mother nature… A charming and interactive adventure for all ages.

This piece began with the offering to be a jingle dress dancer and evolved into the creation of a contemporary healing dance, allowing gifts and ancestral experiences to guide the choreographer in it creation and manifestation. In this signature solo, the dancer-choreographer travels with us through dimensional realms of existence — spirit, dream and present — performing a journey of her life.

Lazylegz MONTREALNo Excuses, No Limits 2017Choreographer: Luca “Lazylegz” Patuelli

To me life is a dance; as long as our hearts are beating, a rhythm is being created. Sometimes it’s the littlest movements that make the biggest difference in a performance, just like in life; it’s the little things that matter. My whole life I was told I would never be able to walk, let alone dance. Today, I live my life to dance, I live to share my passion with others, and I live

Pauline Berndsen Danse MONTREALHypnos 2018Choreography: Pauline Gervais

Hypnos stimulates the experience of collective hypnosis on the live music of Charles Bicari. Paradoxically to the view of practice as a lethargic state, Hypnos proposes a group of individuals full of energy and enthusiasm reacting to constraints through movement and music. Through their journeys, the dancers are connecting with each other on a psychic and physical aspects. Through that link that keeps strengthening during the whole piece, they let go of their doubts in order to fully benefit from the experience.

PERFORMERS Pauline Gervais, Mariya Kyrychenko, Marilyne Cyr, Marc-André Poliquin and Danny Morissette.

MUSIC Charles Bicari

Thank you to all of the dancers and my musician Charles Bicari for their generosity, passion and energy. Also, a special thank you to my mentor Rafik Hubert Sabbagh, who was so helpful during the creation process. Finally, thank you to the Guelph Dance Festival for inviting me to perform at the In the Park series. It is such an amazing opportunity!

Wild Rabbit Dance Projects TORONTOThere she was 2017Choreographer: Jane-Alison McKinney

There she was is a solo performance, choreographed by Jane-Alison McKinney. The piece is defined by two visual chapters: an androgynous, grounded, and embodied figure contrasted with an exaggerated, feminine, towering monster. It’s a reflection on chaos and escape, carried by a charged physicality with strength at its core. McKinney’s performance is driven by risk, rigour, and heart: “If the impossibility of dancing in six-inch stilettos doesn’t grab you, her closing words will.” (The Buzz Mag)

In the StudioRowen McBride-Pilon GUELPH/TORONTOdisparu 2019

disparu explores the complicated emotions that accompany the disentangling of human relationships without explanation. The dancers find new ways of parting through various forms of disconnecting, resembling both the social media concept “ghosting” and the harsh reality of death. By delving into the idea of someone unexpectedly vanishing from your life, the dancers embark on a journey of memory and acceptance.

PERFORMERS Rowen McBride-Pilon and Teagan Ariss

In memory of my father, Richard Pilon; thank you for being a constant inspiration. To Lina Cruz for pushing me out of my comfort zone and helping me appreciate process. To Catrina von Radecki and everyone working on the Breaking Ground Program for making this happen. And to my beautiful dancer Teagan Ariss for embarking on this exciting journey with me.

Catherine Bellefleur & Marie-Maxime Ross MONTREALFoolish Fish 2019

For Foolish Fish, we were inspired and guided by the movement. This movement, which turns out to be rather clumsy and raw, was born of several improvised explorations where we were looking for individual and common instincts. The idea came from an unhealthy relationship between two individuals that enhance both personalities. They have a strong

Lynette Segal GUELPHYes, and 2019

Yes, and is an exploration influenced by life’s dilemmas: trusting in the unfolding of our lives, blindly moving out of the fog led by our hearts. Fortitude is required to stay curious, attentive, discerning, gracious, and humble, all the while loving and letting go.

Lynette Segal B Bloom Media

“To live in this world you must be able to do three things: to love what is mortal; to hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go,to let it go.” — Mary Oliver

Entering into a creative space is an exciting, inviting, and intimidating place. Staying in the process of channeling experience into expression, finding the resonating mode of physicality, letting go of expectation with risk, yet fine tuning every breath, are among the joys that grace this practice — this life.

This performance of EUNOIA is

presented in partnership with the

Eden Mills Writers’ Festival.

On the StageFujiwara Dance Inventions TorontoEUNOIA 2014Choreographer: Denise Fujiwara

Eunoia is Christian Bök’s award-winning and bestselling book of conceptual poetry. It is built on the notion of constraining language to one vowel per chapter and tells stories in ways that are as pleasurable as they are ingenious.

Denise Fujiwara’s adaptation of the book is a multimedia experience of dance, video, music and costume that employs similar constraints in such inventive ways that it has resulted in a ground-breaking performance lauded by audiences and critics alike.

EUNOIA takes the audience on a verbal, visual and visceral journey. The concept of the poem is introduced through games and then builds in complexity with fanciful narratives and semiotic play. Initially, the audience grapples with the rich play of words and images, and then, as the performance unfolds, they surrender to the surprises and wit that are revealed through layers of meaning in the moment.

Dasein Dance TORONTOFour Seasons Project 2017–19Choreographer: Lacey Smith

The Four Seasons Project brings together 70 youth age 11–21 in a reimagining of Vivaldi’s masterpiece. Four dance companies and one string ensemble from four cities will come together in a multi-disciplinary production that brings a youthful twist to the celebrated Four Seasons.

Collectively with the youth, we have developed a movement score inspired by the rich imagery Vivaldi brings to life through these timeless concertos. The young musicians are making a first exploration of baroque performance practice, a style of music-making that is deeply informed by dance and gesture. Woven together are the results of this collaboration that unite music, movement and text in a beautiful celebration of nature, youth and the transcendent music of Vivaldi.

institutions are seeking a more com-munity engaged relationship and the CCC will provide this connection and inspiration. Programming will include artistic creation, education, residencies, school outreach involving both on- and off-reserve school boards, touring, and performances.
