@animalsofdistinction 🔥 FRONTERA. The musical score is by cult Montreal post-rock band Fly Pan Am, with scenography by United Visual Artists. With fearless physicality, the supercharged dancers perform daring, high-voltage moves. On stage, the lights, music and movement are inextricably linked, equal participants in the powerful singularity of the work. FRONTERA is a relentlessly coherent choreographic and theatrical experience that challenges and reinvents codes. A total work of art.⁠ ⁠ 📸 @salomebfce⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #dance #danse #dansedansemtl #dancelife #contemporarydance #photography #montreal #mtl #montrealcity #flamenco #choreographer #mtlmoments #placedesarts #instadance #mtldancers #rehearsals @animalsofdistinction 🔥 After remounting monumental with the Holy Body Tattoo and Godspeed You! Black Emperor, choreographer Dana Gingras returns to the large-scale format with FRONTERA. A socially engaged artist, she investigates the notion of borders—political, economic and liminal—and operations of power by exploring their impact on the body. ⁠ ⁠ 📸 @salomebfce⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #dance #danse #dansedansemtl #dancelife #contemporarydance #photography #montreal #mtl #montrealcity #flamenco #choreographer #mtlmoments #placedesarts #instadance #mtldancers #rehearsals @animalsofdistinction 🔥 Backed by musicians from Fly Pan Am and members of the UK-based collective United Visual Artists (UVA), choreographer Dana Gingras imagines FRONTERA, a new ambitious work that stretches the boundaries of the performing arts. A dazzling, subversive blast of energy!⁠ ⁠ 📸 @salomebfce⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #dance #danse #dansedansemtl #dancelife #contemporarydance #photography #montreal #mtl #montrealcity #flamenco #choreographer #mtlmoments #placedesarts #instadance #mtldancers #rehearsals @compagnielaotraorilla ❄ Uprooting, deprivation on a piece of an ice floe set adrift. Interior landscapes—do we traverse landscapes or are we traversed by them? Spaces that we pass through and lands that pass through us, knock us over, then inhabit us.⁠ ⁠ The virgin page, this snow bank in which the foot sinks and footprints erased from the icy ground. A great whitewashing. A passage via the pole, magnetic.⁠ ⁠ 📸 Vllde Rolfsen⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #dance #danse #dansedansemtl #dancelife #contemporarydance #photography #montreal #mtl #montrealcity #flamenco #choreographer #mtlmoments #placedesarts #instadance #mtldancers #rehearsals @compagnielaotraorilla ❄ ONLY TWO DAYS LEFT for MAGNETIKAE!⁠ ⁠ Myriam Allard and Hedi Graja bring together two diametrically opposed worlds: that of a language, flamenco, and that of the imagination, embodied by the ice floe. Creating a powerful sensorial universe, playing with the wealth of contrasts and dissonance born out of these two extremes, they place the concepts of exile and the other at the heart of this face-to-face performance.⁠ ⁠ In this new offering, the iconoclastic duo assembles a visual environment, sound references and potent, compelling passionate colours, continuing a journey they began ten years ago. A flamenco tale on an ice floe—the senses collide in an original and poetic piece.⁠ ⁠ 📸 Vllde Rolfsen⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #dance #danse #dansedansemtl #dancelife #contemporarydance #photography #montreal #mtl #montrealcity #flamenco #choreographer #mtlmoments #placedesarts #instadance #mtldancers #rehearsals @compagnielaotraorilla ❄ Uprooting, deprivation on a piece of an ice floe set adrift.

In Andalusia she met the multidisciplinary artist Hedi Graja, who had studied theatre and classical singing in France. She travelled the world performing with various troupes while he completed his studies and began a career as an actor. In 2005 they met up once again in Montreal, where they embarked on very personal research to create a form of flamenco close to their hearts, and together founded La Otra Orilla.⁠ ⁠ 📸 Levent Eruktu / Myriam Allard & Hedi Graja⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #dance #danse #dansedansemtl #dancelife #contemporarydance #photography #montreal #mtl #montrealcity #flamenco #choreographer #mtlmoments #placedesarts #instadance #mtldancers #rehearsals @compagnielaotraorilla ❄ Lilek yasser fil frejdaire ? ⁠ * have you lived in the fridge long ?⁠ ⁠ @compagnielaotraorilla ❄ Drawing strength from her rigorous Spanish training and extensive professional experience, Myriam Allard’s dance breaks free of the traditional esthetic boundaries to develop an idiom that combines the instinctive and the impulsive with great sensitivity and refinement.⁠ -⁠ She now lives in Montreal, where she founded La Otra Orilla in 2006 with singer and director Hedi Graja. Within this company she has developed a unique choreographic expression and produced twelve different productions that have toured Canada, the US, South America and Great-Britain with much success.⁠ ⁠ 📸 Lydia Pawelak / artist: Myriam Allard ⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #dance #danse #dansedansemtl #dancelife #contemporarydance #photography #montreal #mtl #montrealcity #flamenco #choreographer #mtlmoments #placedesarts #instadance #mtldancers #rehearsals @compagnielaotraorilla ❄️ IT’S THE PREMIERE OF MAGNETIKAE TONIGHT 💙 To discover at @placedesarts from November 19 to 23 ✨ • 👉🏻 #dansedansemtl pour partager vos photos et vidéos des spectacles! // #dansedansemtl to share your images of the shows! . . . #dance#danse#dansedanse#dancelife#contemporarydance#photography#discover#montreal#mtl#montrealcity#photography#mtllife#art#choreographer#choreography#montrealmoments#placedesarts#instadance#dansemtl#dansemontreal#stage#mtldancers#rehearsals#dancers @compagnielaotraorilla will launch its flamenco into an ice floe with MAGNETIKAE ❄️ STARTING FROM TOMORROW ❄️ Against a frosty backdrop, a dancer, a singer and two musicians embark on a poetic winter journey 💙 To discover at @placedesarts from November 19 to 23 ✨ • 👉🏻 #dansedansemtl pour partager vos photos et vidéos des spectacles! // #dansedansemtl to share your images of the shows! . . . #dance#danse#dansedanse#dancelife#contemporarydance#photography#discover#montreal#mtl#montrealcity#photography#mtllife#art#choreographer#choreography#montrealmoments#placedesarts#instadance#dansemtl#dansemontreal#stage#mtldancers#rehearsals#dancers BIG NEWS 🌸 NELKEN, the iconic work by the legendary German choreographer Pina Bausch, is coming to Montreal for 4 nights only (from September 30th to October 3rd, 2020) 😍 in an immense field of thousands of carnations, 22 graceful performers recreate a world at once tender and cruel, overflowing with a humanity that captivated audiences around the world ❤️ . . . #pina#pinabausch#dance#contemporarydance#danse#dansetheatre#danceinmontreal#montreal#mtlmoments#dancers#germandancers BIG NEWS 🌸 NELKEN, the iconic work by the legendary German choreographer Pina Bausch, is coming to Montreal for 4 nights only (from September 30th to October 3rd, 2020) 😍 in an immense field of thousands of carnations, 22 graceful performers recreate a world at once tender and cruel, overflowing with a humanity that captivated audiences around the world ❤️ . . . #pina#pinabausch#dance#contemporarydance#danse#dansetheatre#danceinmontreal#montreal#mtlmoments#dancers#germandancers BIG NEWS 🌸 NELKEN, the iconic work by the legendary German choreographer Pina Bausch, is coming to Montreal for 4 nights only (from September 30th to October 3rd, 2020) 😍 in an immense field of thousands of carnations, 22 graceful performers recreate a world at once tender and cruel, overflowing with a humanity that captivated audiences around the world ❤️ . . . #pina#pinabausch#dance#contemporarydance#danse#dansetheatre#danceinmontreal#montreal#mtlmoments#dancers#germandancers For @bangarradancetheatre dancersm ✨ @bangarradancetheatre ✨ The Torres Strait Islands are located in between the tip of Northern Queensland and the Southern Coast of Papua New Guinea. There are approximately 100 islands in the Torres Strait but only 19 of these islands are inhabited.⁠ ⁠ Prior to European settlement the people of the Torres Strait relied on hunting and the gathering of food and vegetables, trading of items and objects made of pearl and turtle shells, human heads, hair, stone tools and weapons collected during warfare.⁠ ⁠ Nowadays with the introduction of Christianity in 1871, the people still rely on traditional methods for daily existence to insure that there culture is still kept alive through fishing, hunting, dancing and language both on the islands and the Mainland.⁠ ⁠ The Torres Strait is traditionally an oral culture; they pass their culture, language, song and dance down verbally. The Torres Strait has two main languages spoken by the people on different islands: Meriam Mir and Kala Lagaw Ya. Many Torres Strait Islanders also speak Creole, which is a combination of Australian English and their traditional languages.⁠ ⁠ 📸 Zan Wimberley⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #dance#danse#dansedanse#dancelife#contemporarydance#photography#discover#montreal#mtl#montrealcity#photography#mtllife#art#choreographer#choreography#montrealmoments#placedesarts#instadance#dansemtl#dansemontreal#stage#mtldancers#rehearsals#dancers#australiandancers ✨ @bangarradancetheatre ✨ D-7 before Spirit at @placedesarts !
