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!

Ashlea Watkin interview & reviews

Dear Montréal,

Ashlea Watkin is performing in two out of three of Nicolas Cantin’s Trois Romance pieces next month at Usine C.  We have a little chat with her about the project, and her career as a dance artist here in Montréal.

After the interview, Jenn rants about the White Wave Dance Festival in NYC. She just came back from New York after participating specifically in the Wave Rising Series, and shares her experience with us.

Allison and J.D. do a team review the still running Une idée sinon vraie… by Marc Boivin in collaboration with composer Ana Sokolović and the musicians of the Quatuor Bozzini.  The show is playing at Agora this weekend.

J.D. then puts Snakeskins by Benoit Lachambre to rest with a final, full review. I get the impression that he really liked this show.  It was presented at Usine C earlier in October, and since then, he hasn’t stopped talking about it!

To finish off this episode, Allison does a review of Tête à tête by Stéphane Gladyszewki.  The work was presented as a part of the Festival du nouveau cinéma last weekend.

Our show from OCTOBER 25th, 2012
