PREMIERE LIVESTREAM JULY 17 | 7:30PM EDT
STREAMING ON DEMAND JULY 17-25
Welcome to Our Birthday Party at Gravity’s Edge
Turning 40! The threshold of middle age…what could become a time to settle comfortably into the set ways of long practice rewarded by occasional success.
Of course, Fate had other plans for us, first derailing our live May 2020 celebration at our second home, Fleck Dance Theatre, then nixing our livestream from that delightful stage this spring.
So, far from settling in, we have been rudely shaken into new ways of expressing the brilliance that our resilient young dancers and ever-inventive choreographers bring to this madly reset table.
We are freshly learning to see the world through the lens of a camera – to appreciate the inherent intimacy of that instrument, then filtered through the cool medium of the digital image.
But there is more. We are learning to visualize this hot/cool interplay set against rich landscapes and cityscapes we could never have imagined amid the comforts of a sprung floor, one actually featuring protection from the elements.
And so, CCDT has rejuvenated, 40 years after tumbling into the world with such unlikely ambitions. It is our hope that you find us, at Gravity’s Edge, wearing those wonderful years ever so lightly.
– Deborah and Michael

Mariah Fernandes
The Gift is about the relationship between the universe and us; how we connect to and receive beautiful inspiration from each other, and experience miracles from unexpected places. By whichever means our paths are created, we are constantly influencing and being influenced by the energies around us, carving an individual and unique journey through life. Recreating this piece for film has allowed it to gain new depth and dimension as a cinematic experience. - H.K.
Heartfelt thanks to dancers Andrew, Hannah, Hope, Katie, Marie-Elena and Sera, for your involvement in and dedication to the early stages of this remount process. - N.P.W.

Joshua Vilim, Hannah Clifton, and Estella Haensel
I never use music to dramaturge my choreography, but ideas for the creation of Earth Dance, Wire Dance were in direct response to Matmos’ kinetic, groovy and unusually structured music. The material I created is extremely quick and requires the dancers to both adhere to these aspects of the music, while also driving through it to find their physical grounding. It’s a very tricky balance. - S.I.
Earth Dance, Wire Dance was originally commissioned by The School of Toronto Dance Theatre in 2004.

Claire Finlayson, Andrew Clifton, Kaiya Lee, and Jaedyn Richards
Contours was inspired by selected moments reimagined from last season's original creation for CCDT, Signatures, yet to be premiered. The original process investigated spatial awareness and our connections to it and each other. With Covid restrictions in place it was intriguing to explore this further, as our relationship with distance and space became paramount in navigating new responses that ultimately connect from afar. - G.B.
Special thanks to the original cast dancers of Signatures for their artistic collaboration in the creation of that work, and this reimagined version of it: Paris Forbes, Lola Rose Jenkins, Nikkie Jeong, Jeffrey Lapira, Kaiya Lee, Jaedyn Richards, Sydney Runions, Daniel Santokie, and Melodie Yeung
Special Thanks to 4 Wheel Farm and the Magwood Family

The cast of Evil Twin
Evil Twin was first created in 2013 at Springboard Danse Montréal as part of the Emerging Choreographers Project. I used the creative opportunity to explore my queer side and how it exists within the machinery of society; the idea of outward presentation along society's norms, yet being freed by releasing the authenticity of our inner beings! - R.G.

In 1990, celebrating our company’s 10th anniversary, I was inspired by William Blake’s playful Ecchoing Green to create a sunlit dance in Blake’s imagined meadow. The poem, though, concludes with his image of “the darkening green”. As I reflect on the changes in our world over the past thirty years, I feel moved to a more melancholy sense of Nature’s beauty and to the need for a less innocent response to the changes we are witnessing. - D.L.

In 1990, Michael led CCDT’s first international tour to the People’s Republic of China, and the following year the premiere of SONGS of INNOCENCE and of EXPERIENCE, featuring commissions by ten leading choreographers, realized one of his long-cherished dreams. From 1997 to 2000 he planned CCDT’s extensive tours of Northern Ontario, and in 2002 led the company’s return to Southeast Asia with performances in Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and Johor Bahru, Malaysia.

For fifteen years Michael has led his company’s Ontario Community Residencies Program introducing more than 300,000 young people to contemporary dance in theatres throughout Ontario. Most recently, he produced CCDT’s Scotland tour to the Commonwealth Youth Dance Festival followed by the company’s inaugural appearances at the storied Joyce Theater in New York City as part of the José Limón Dance Company’s International Dance Festival in celebration of their 70th Anniversary.

Costume Designer, Costume Producer & Resident Wardrobe Manager
Krista, happily, is a ballet “lifer.”
Her first formal ballet class was at the age of 6, and at the age of 12 she joined Canada’s National Ballet School. Upon graduation, in 2000, she entered the National Ballet of Canada under the Apprentice Program. With a bit of luck and a lot of hard work, she advanced to the Corps de Ballet two years later.
Krista retired from the National Ballet after a fulfilling 14-year career. She remains situated within the dance world, designing and building costumes and dance wear for dancers and companies, both nationally and internationally. She has had the pleasure of designing costumes for The National Ballet of Canada’s Being and Nothingness, and was delighted to design and build costumes for Toronto Symphony Orchestra’s Seven Deadly Sins, Casa Loma’s Legends of Horror, and Toronto Dance Theatre’s production of Alyssa Martin’s Bin Chicken, as well as multiple productions for ProArteDanza, Côté Danse, Canadian Contemporary Dance Theatre, Ballet Kelowna and Hit & Run Dance Productions.
Making costumes and clothing help people share the stories that matter to them.
