Best of Movement Museum 2011

Hello friends,

This is the last episode of Movement Museum for the year 2011. Here we wrap up the year with a couple of excepts from our favourite episodes of 2011. The first is from the February 10th interview with the incredible Marie Chouinard. You’ll hear Zeke, Bettina and Jenn talk with her about her creation process, her solo career and her company. The second is our Danse à 10 interview from September 22nd, where Melina, Jenn and Kati discuss La 2em Port à Gauche's sold out production with three of the ladies involved.

Then Allison does a quick recap of the 2011 dance community highlights according to the Voir, Mirror and the Gazette. In the Voir article, L'avenir dans la mire, writer Fabienne Cabado sums up the year of dance in french, and includes a top five list. For the Mirror, Marites Carino writes Till the world ends, and tips his hat to some of 2011's pleasant surprises. Victor Swoboda contributes a thorough article to the gazette with Dance brings a year of surprise, grace and entertainment.

Flashback Episode: Danse à 10

Hello Montreal,

This is an old episode from the vault, and actually one of our favorites. Guest co-host Melina Stinson is in studio with regular hosts Jenn and Kati. They interview three lovely ladies from La 2em Port à Gauche's sold out production of Danse à 10. You'll hear the voices of Miriah Brennan, Katya Montaignac and Miss Betty Wilde speaking about their experiences working on a show set in Kingdom, a Gentlemen's Club, and dealing with subjects of nudity and eroticism. They also get into a fascinating discussion about a stripper and a contemporary dancer virtually switching roles while meeting in the middle for this production.

Dance History this week takes the form of a biography of Paul Draper, an american tap dancer and choreographer.

Flashback Episode: Warming up and cooling down

Hello patient followers,

Here is a flashback to an August 2011 episode. Since we were coming back from the summer dance lul back in August, we dedicated a large portion of the show to previewing highlights of the 2011/12 dance season in with a little run down of what is to come. Kati has been assigned the Usine C, La Chapelle and the Agora de la danse seasons. Jenn talks about the Danse Danse season, and Allison highlights Les Escales Improbables de Montreal.

The dance history topic is on the famous Gene Kelly.

Then we dive into a general discussion about methods of warm up and cool down for dancers. Here Jenn references some very cool disciplines every dancer should check out for staying fitter longer, and lengthening their career.

The Nutcracker Explained

Happy Holidays Montreal!

This week on the radio show we've dedicated the entire episode to discussing the Nutcracker. Kati calls in from Alberta and talks with Allison about the history of the production, alternative versions of the show that have popped up during its run, and its financial implications to dance companies in North America.

We also reference a few interesting articles about the Nutcracker. The first is 8 Ways to Better Enjoy the Nutcracker, from Time.com, which is fairly self explanatory. We also reference the Globe and Mail article, Still kicking at 120: the evolution of The Nutcracker, for insight into some of the variations of the show being performed across Canada this Christmas.

The Last Rain

Good day Montreal,

For our December 15th episode we were graced with the presence of two members of the production team of Cirque Eloize's touring show "Rain." Allison and Kati interview Amélie, the tour director and Stephie, the technical director for the show. Cirque Eloize has been around since 1993, and this particular production has been on display since it's creation in 2004, and has come to Montreal for its farewell performance. We talked to the girls about circus life with an 18 member troupe working on a production with an 8 year long run. (Learn more about Cirque Eloize)

This week Kati shares a dance history with us about Ethel Bruneau, a fantastic woman who has made tap dance history, and continues to teach it today. If you are a dance history buff, be sure to check out this amazing website that Kati mentions, Dance Collection Danse at dcd.ca.

We go back to Kati once more for a review of "Utopia: Est-ce possible?" by the same Chad Dembski whom we interview two weeks ago.

So there's this film...

Hello Montreal!

On the radio last week we were fortunate to have two groups of guests. Claudelle Bilodeau and Jason Martin, two third year students from LADMMI came in to talk about their up-coming "cru d'automne" show. They will be dancing for Marc Boivin and Sasha Ivanochko along with their classmates. Claudelle and Jason let us in on the process of working with these two choreographers, and their experience with school.

Amy Blackmore and Vanessa Kneale came on the show to disscuss the dance film "So There's this Girl" which premiered last Monday, December 5th. Produced by Bis Films, the project was two years in the making. Amy shares her experience turning her stage choreography into a film, and as one of the stars Vanessa tells us about the shooting process.

Then we mixed it up and had the studio of dancers talk about the craft of creation, interpretation and the use of a rehearsal director.

Kati brought us an interesting and relevant dance history relating to Frederick Wiseman's "Crazy Horse" documentary.

Involving Involved

Hello dance lovers,

We had a full studio for the December 1st show with Sasha Kleinplatz, Adriana Disman, Simon Portigal and Chad Dembski, all of whom were involved in the lastest studio 303 production "Involved." Sasha and Andrew Tay are the team behind Montreal's Wants & Needs danse, and curated this evening dedicated to pieces which involve audience participation. Adriana, Simon and Chad all contributed to the evening's lineup. Chad also happens to be presenting his work "Utopia: Is it possible?" next week at 303, so Karen takes the time to discuss his upcoming work with him as well.

Plus, we had time to squeese in two show reviews. Allison reviews Junkyard/Paradis by the same Mélanie Demers we interviewed on the November 17th show. Then, Karen mentions the Pina Bausch show she travelled all the way to Ottawa to see (Bausch's 1995 work "Danzon" at the NAC).

of good moral character

Hello Montreal and beyond!

We had a fantastic show on the radio today. This episode was heartfelt and rich with artistic discussion. This week Jenn Doan interviewed up-and-coming dancer/choreographer, Lara Kramer about her new work "of good moral character" which premieres tonight, November 3rd at the MAI. They also discuss Lara's past work, "Fragments," her artistic background and her Ojibwa and Cree heritage. You can find more information about Lara and her work at www.larakramer.ca.

Our dance history this week was put together by Kati Belanger, and focuses on Gwynyth Evelyn Verdon (1925 - 2000). Gwynyth went from a child with rickets to woking with Bob Fosse.

Minority Report

You may remember the conversation we had on Movement Museum during our September 15 show about the English Language Arts Network (ELAN). I mentioned ELAN's RAEV Project (Recognizing Artists: Enfin Visibles!) which profiles noteworthy "anglophone" Quebecois artists. ELAN has dedicated a section of their website to this project, which features artist's profiles, videos, and histories of every artistic discipline. Now these histories have been published by Guernica Press as a book titled Minority Report - An Alternative History of English-Language Arts in Quebec.



The reason I'm mentioning this book is because of its fascinating and educational section on dance in Quebec, written by Tao Fei. In "The Un-Solitary Worlds of Montreal Dance" Fei takes us from the city's early dance history to a round-up of dance in 2011. Did you know that the "point of origin" of Montreal's dance scene is McGill University, where in 1929 the Physical Education Department began offering credited dance courses? Or that in the 1950s Les Grands Ballets Canadiens were one of only three companies who offered their dancers regular salaries?

If you're interested in learning about the history of Montreal's dance community and get a feel for the cultural landscape in Quebec over the last 60 years, get yourselves a copy of the Minority Report. It's available on the ELAN website here.
