Dance in Sept-Îles

In writing about various dance events, it’s not often I come across one happening in Sept-Îles, Quebec.  Today, however, I found a listing for a performance by Sylvain Émard Danse there on February 26!

I’ve never seen Sylvain perform myself, but he danced with such legendary choreographers as Jean-Pierre Pearreault, before himself turning to choreography.  Since 1987, when he opened his own company, he has created a distinctive choreographic style.

In Sept-Îles he will present Wave, which is the last part in the Climatology of bodies trilogy.  In these works, Émard uses climate as a metaphor for how our lives are influenced by external happenings.

The work sounds very exciting, and is performed by an all-female cast.  I’d love to be able to check it out! 

For those of you in Sept-Îles, Émard will be at the Salle de spectacle de Sept-Îles, Salle Jean-Marc-Dion on Friday, February 26.

I found out about this dance happening through the Dance Current’s Destination Dance ~ Danse, a great resource for dance performances across Canada.
