  3. DanceWorks presents elsewhere, an adelheid dance works production


DanceWorks, Toronto’s longest running contemporary dance series, presents the world premiere of elsewhere, an adelheid dance projects production choreographed by its award-winning Artistic Director, Heidi Strauss. This highly anticipated work runs September 25-27 at Harbourfront Centre Theatre as part of Harbourfront Centre’s NextSteps.

The newest work by acclaimed choreographer Heidi Strauss, elsewhere takes inspiration from the anthropological concept of ‘affect’ – our human capacity to affect, or be affected. The choreography maps a condition that gives everyday life a quality of continual motion, felt within impulses, expectations and encounters; an internal graph of lived intensities. A kinetic meditation, elsewhere poses moments of tenderness, force, and surrender as what bears witness to our resilience.

Performed by five remarkable dancers - Danielle Baskerville, Justine A. Chambers, Luke Garwood, Molly Johnson and Brendan Wyatt - who lend to the work a vivid intimacy, this is the company’s first independent creation for an ensemble. elsewhere also brings together talented designers Jeremy Mimnagh (sound & projection), Rebecca Picherack (lighting) and Teresa Przybylski (set & costume).

adelheid will also partner with Grimm Pictures to create a series of short films based on elsewhere, co-created by Grimm’s Laura Taler, adelheid’s Artistic Associate Jeremy Mimnagh and Strauss. These will be screened in public contexts where dance is not usually seen in Toronto, including Pattison Onestop subway platforms, shopping malls, underground walkways and high-rise elevators. The films will move elsewhere into the realm of public art.

Thursday, September 25 to Saturday, September 27, 2014 at 8PM (Post-show Talkback: Friday, Sept 26)

Tickets: $28 - $37 Adult; $15 CultureBreak (Students under 25); Discount for Seniors and groups.
