Hey! The Montreal Fringe is over!
Indyish was all over the Fest again this year, reviewing shows, putting on shows, and just hanging out in our little tent inside the beer tent.
Check out some of our coverage below:

* The Sun Ra Arkestra workshop and jam at the Marathon MonthlyMess

Disclaimer: I am not a fan of Paul-André Fortier’s choreography. So please read this post with that in mind; if you have enjoyed his work in the past, then there is a good chance you would like this one as well.

Suoni 2008 poster by Bree Ree - watch for a podcast interview coming soon!

Over the past week I’ve had the opportunity to do some accidental interviews with organizers of and performers in the Suoni Per il Popolo music festival currently underway here in Montreal. Sometimes you go find an interview, and sometimes it finds you. […]

Early on in Martin Bélanger’s Grande théorie unifiée, one of the dancers exclaims “We need to talk about everything,” the others replying “And we will!” Of course, it might be a bit too much ground to cover for a show that’s less than two hours, but Bélanger and his collaborators certainly try their best.

Picture this: In a pocket of stone stage and archway, in a park full of greenery and sun at a busy corner of St Laurent, mid-Montreal, crowds gather carrying trumpets and violins.

I certainly thought I would before seeing Marie Chouinard’s Orphée et Eurydice. But now I am forced to recognize that quality is not […]

I guess I don’t really feel like June as a month has really begun. Maybe it’s the rain, or maybe it’s simply that I’m not focusing on “June” so much as on “festival season” — so why not continue our emerging tradition of Suoni Per Il Popolo preview posts?
Here’s how it works, in case you […]

The first time I got to see Frédérick Gravel’s work, I have to admit that I didn’t quite know what to make of it. His peculiar sense of humour simply didn’t seem to work its magic on me. But these last few times, it’s been a whole different deal. Maybe Gravel’s work is the kind […]

Indyish blogger, Sylvain Verstricht has been covering practically every dance show in Montreal for a year and a half now. He’s reviewed something like 60 dance shows over the course of that time. He also gave us his lists of the Best Short Works of 2007 and the Best Long Works of 2007. So if […]
