We knew what to expect from Les Chambres de Jacques, the second run of the work that New York-based Canadian born choreographer Aszure Barton created for Les Ballets Jazz de Montréal but a few years ago. Jack in a Box, the new work by BJM’s resident choreographer that completes this double header, had more of [...]

Mandala Sitù in WARNING, choreography and photo by Dave St-Pierre

One of the first things to hit us when we enter Théâtre La Chapelle for Dave St-Pierre’s WARNING is the strong smell of rubber. The stage is covered with thousands of tennis balls. This is sure to make dancing difficult for the four women of Mandala [...]

Corps noir, by Stéphane Gladyszewski

After Chanti Wadge got three weeks of residency at Tangente last year, this time it is Stéphane Gladyszewski’s turn to benefit from the space… and a whole lot of gadgets!

Naomi Stikeman in Çaturn

Çaturn sports choreography by the amazing Crytal Pite; music by Bell Orchestre and Arcade Fire’s Richard Reed Parry; acting by the extraordinary Janine Sutto; artistic advising by the brilliant Robert Lepage; and dancing by the gifted Peter Chu and Naomi Stikeman. So it’s got to be good, right? Right?
Stikeman is the brain [...]

Last week, Tangente began its Impulsions program with two works that stand on different ends of the spectrum. The first, visual artist Andrew Foster’s Ossip, is as static as the second, Dean Makarenko’s Daylight, is dynamic. Given their presence on a stage, it might not be too surprising that one faired better than the other.
