Universal Horrors at Toronto Fringe

Horror films and classic movie monsters are the inspiration for Universal Horrors, the new show from award-winning indie dance company Broken Rhythms.

Victoria's most innovative Dance Company, Broken Rhythms, is touring to Toronto Fringe with an original, multimedia production Universal Horrors.After watching the 1925 gothic and melodramatic silent picture Phantom of the Opera Executive and Artistic Director Dyana Sonik-Henderson was hooked and became obsessed with old monster pictures and begun to experiment with how to transform these iconic movie moments and stories into dance.

The result is several short works that bring the classic horror movie genre of the 1930s, 40s, 50s back to the stage and in 3D. Utilizing the company's innovative rhythmic contemporary style, cult classics such as Dracula,Wolfman and Creature from the Black Lagoon all make an appearance in a show that will both surprise and seduce, and is certain to send shivers down your spine.

Broken Rhythms is a Victoria-based, registered not-for-profit dance company founded in 2011 under the artistic direction of Dyana Sonik-Henderson. The company was created to showcase the unique style of rhythmical contemporary, to provide local artists with performance and training opportunities, and to support and develop the Canadian arts community. Since 2011, Broken Rhythms has created and produced numerous original works such as SPARK, GRIM, SEVEN and UNIVERSAL HORRORS that have toured all over Canada. They have been awarded five Pick of the Fringe awards, been shortlisted for Monday Magazine Best Dance Company, and received the LOLA International project award.
