Three Full Houses and the Standing O!

Tedd Robinson brought Halifax to their feet and packed three full houses for the premiere of Canvas 5 x 5! What a weekend and a lot of fun had by all on stage and in the audience.

Described by Arts East as "Mesmerizing"  and "Igniting the Room" by Andrea Nemetz from The Chronicle Herald.

Tedd Robinson left a mark in the community with his warm spirit, artist talks, and the gift of striking contemporary dance.   It was sad to see our friend go but we at Mocean Dance are grateful to have worked with such a great artist and person!

Well the anticipated secret was revealed this weekend and we closed each evening with guest bag piper Nick vanOuwerjek. It was a pleasure adding live music to our performances, especially the profound, powerful and moving sound of the pipes.

Stay tuned, as there is much more to come in 2012. Next up is a new creation with Lesnadra Dodson with dancers Susanne Chui and Darryl C. Tracy, then the 2nd edition of Gen-Y will hit the stage in March and May with choreography by myself. Finally, Mocean's dance party of the year "Reverb" - an inter-media art party with installation work from NSCAD and guest DJ Adham Shaikh..... just in time for International Dance Day on April 28. A party not to miss, more info coming soon!

Stay tuned and keep in motion with Mocean Dance!
