The Haligonian Welcome

Mocean Dance is back in the studio, as we continue our work with Tedd Robinson, resuming the new commission from our work in September at Lac Leslise, Quebec. 

 

Tedd arrives to Halifax for the two-week working period, welcomed by the the faint sounds of a celtic hum on CBC and the Barrington St. wind tunnel.  On our first day, we pull out our notes and bring the memory of our previous working session back to the surface.


Little books, twenty feet of thread and Mona Lisa's waiting to be painted, the dancers set out to make new creases in the cloth and feel their own wind as the new imprints are laid. We of course, experiment with gaffers tape -the tool of choice when in a pinch, and we are reminded that some things are better left unsaid.
