Hot and fiery summer air meets the studio.
This is our second working period for this new commission to create a new male-female duet by LD. Lesandra is working her magic and crafting a wonderous world with guest male-dancer Darryl Tracy (Toronto) and incoming Artistic Director Susanne Chui.
This is my first time in Freddy! A quiet charming town with beautiful American civil war inspired architecture (I am pretending to be a historian, but I am actually no expert). Working on the weekend and over this holiday Monday has made the town seem extra still and suspended in this hot summer air.
But this mysterious feeling is feeding into firefly reflexes of the dancers.
We are blessed with many delights, Lesandra and our composer Christine Fellows are currently artist-in-residence at the Charlotte Street Art Centre, so we get to use this wonderful space.
We get to start working with composers/musicians Christine Fellows and Leanne Zacharias. I personally can't wait to hear that woody cello sound, the found objects orchestra and rich vocals in the air!
The new duet will be part of the Dodson Trilogy project touring to Halifax, Fredericton and Winnipeg in January 2013!
The Fredericton Playhouse and Charlotte Street Art Centre will be co-hosting an open showing at the end of this week to share a taste of these delights.
More to follow and creative details in store! Stay tuned.
