Final Episode

Dear Montréal,

The Movement Museum team has been busy bees preparing for the transition from CKUT radio to our brand new podcast, Dirty Feet! However, we haven’t been too busy to bring you a stellar last episode of Movement Museum.

We invite dance artist Thea Patterson into the studio. She is an assistant to the creation of Peter Trosztmer’s EESTI: Myths and Machines. The show is being presented as a part of the Tangente season this weekend. She tells us about the creative process of the show, what it is like to work with Peter, and her own creative path.


Next up J.D. and Allison run through some reviews from the week before starting with Trois Romances (Grand Singe, Belle Manière and Mygale) a retrospective of Nicolas Cantin’s work presented at Usine C. The show was chilling, and difficult to describe, however I think we did a pretty good job! You can also read Allison’s review of the show on Bloody Underrated.

Next up Allison reviews Diptych by José Navas/Compagnie Flak, which was presented as a part of the Danse Danse season. Then Allison also reviews Fente-toi! by Isabelle Boulanger & Dans le cercle by Sarah-Ève Grant. This was a Tangente presentation. You may remember Sarah-Ève Grant from two weeks ago when she visited Movement Museum for an interview.

As we mention at the end of the show, and the beginning of this post, this was our last live broadcast with CKUT. Starting next week the whole current Movement Museum team will be participating in a new, independent dance podcast, Dirty Feet, with the all-new No More Radio network. Don’t miss a week of dance discourse – when you are hungry for some good dance conversation next week, we’ll have our very first Dirty Feet podcast ready for your listening pleasure on November 21st. Until the new website goes officially goes live, you can keep in touch with us via our Dirty Feet facebook page.

Our show from NOVEMBER 15th, 2012

Until next week… on Dirty Feet!

Sarah-Ève Grant & Cirquantique

Dear Montréal,

This week J.D leads an interview with Sarah-Ève Grant, en Français. Sarah-Ève is the choreographer and performer of Dans le cercle, a contemporary dance piece being presented by Tangente next week in a double bill along side Isabelle Boulanger’s Fente toi!

Next, Allison leads an interview with a pair of guests from Cirquantique’s production of Bang! Bang! We welcome in studio, co-producer and performer Esmeralda, along with another performer in the show, David Louch. Their production combines circus, burlesque, and by the sounds of it, a whole lot more.

Before we say goodbye J.D. and Allison do a team review Colonial by Filipino-Canadian artist, Alvin Erasga Tolentino. The show played at the MAI last weekend.
