Human Landscapes
Choreographer: Candice Irwin
Performers: Alison Keery, Roxanne Korpan, and Amanda Pye
Outside. Eyes: Davida Monk and Deanne Walsh
“It’s not an untouched wilderness like a mountaintop, but a ramshackle wildness in which people and the land have conspired to strangeness.” – Helen Macdonald
Inspired by the work of visual artists Wanda Koop, Human Landscapes asks what our world would look like if humans weren’t here.
Street Art
Choreographer/Performer: Robyn Learn
Videographer: Evan Robinson
Street Art is a collaborative exploration of the act of watching and being watched. (in the street, on the stage, or through the numerous other venues that life provides)
A Provocation on Wheels I
Choreographers: Jen Roy and Shay Erlich
Performers: Shay Erlich and Jen Roy
Wheels represent possibility and plurality: the space between motion and stillness, the balance point between safety and risk, and how imagination creates opportunities for new motions to emerge. In animating the inanimate device, the user is in turn animated, perpetuating motion, relationships, and explorations.
The He(a)rd
Choreographer: Raena Waddell
Performers: Meghan Moody, Alex Mevel, Stephanie Schnarr, Julianna Heft, Leah Born, Abby Hanson, Amanda Procter, Nika Giblak, Nicole Chebac, Cattrina Ladi, Michelle Luu, Kelsey Bertrand, Amelia Pierce, Aidan Collins, Alecia Hack
The He(a)rd references three ideas within the myriad of possibilities in herd mentality: distortion, unified mass, and ultimately highlighting each unique voice among the many.
Each year Good Women Dance Collective and Victoria School for the Arts partner on a new work for Nextfest. An artist from the Edmonton community is selected to create a piece on the Dance Xtreme students in grades 10-12.
