Guelph Dance presents ‘Radical Vitality’ by Compagnie Marie Chouinard
World premiere: June 23, 2018, at the Venice Biennale of Contemporary Dance
“I’ve been creating mostly large forms for years. Now I want to go back to creating small forms. I love it when everything is said concisely, and moreover with an invitation to breathe… as in the three lines of a Japanese haiku. I revisited solos that have existed for 30, even 40 years. I also picked duets and solos that appear among my large forms to recreate autonomous variations of them. I searched through my notebooks and unearthed beautiful ones that had never been performed before. And I created brand new ones. It was a joyous adventure with all the performers, as if we were exploring lands known and unknown.” – MARIE CHOUINARD
