Salsa Descalza, Bouge d’ici and more!

Hello Montréal,

Carmen Ruiz and Andrea Nińo from Salsa Descalza came on the show to tell us all about their spicy project.  It’s a figurative stew of various ingredients including dance, theatre and music featuring “gypsy melodies and afro-Colombian rhythms.”  We talk about how the project works, and their live events one of which is coming up tomorrow night at Sala Rossa.  We even play a track to get you in the mood.

Andrea Nińo, Carmen Ruiz and J.D. Papillon

After the break we have Amy Blackmore, Artistic Director of Bouge d’ici in to explain the organization, festival and promote the call for submissions to Common Space/L'Espace Commun.  Allison is also involved in the project, and helps to explain and inspire.

Amy Blackmore, J.D Papillon and Allison Burns

We end the show with a quick dance calendar covering Raoul, the Montréal Flamenco Festival and Quartier Danses Festival.  It’s the time to start seeing some shows!

Take care,

Bouge D'ici 2012

Hello Montreal!

This week we focus on the Bouge D'ici Dance Festival, running from January 13th-21st, 2012 at MainLine Theater. The non-profit organization is concerned with giving emerging dance artists a venue to produce their work in a professional setting, and facilitating the creation of a diverse dance community in Montreal. During the festival, there are workshops, dance shows, a film night and a story telling event.

Kati and Allison talk with Amy Blackmore, the Artistic Director, Paul Aflalo, the Communications Director, and a member of the planning comity, Stephanie Robert who is telling a story at Confabulation: Just dance, and presenting a video in the Film Night, and Michele Slattery one of the choreographers for the Common Space Showcase. Check it out in more detail on Facebook.

Kati brings us a dance history focusing a different dance festival, the Festival International de Nouvelle Danse, which is unfortunately no longer in existence. If you are curious about what happened to it, Kati will satisfy that curiosity in the show this week.

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.

Our show from DECEMBER 8th, 2011
