KINSCAPE

Established in 2014, LA TRESSE is a laterally arranged organization whereby the three founding members co-choreograph and perform physically driven works that explore interdependence and the transporting power of imagination. Embodying a connection to pleasure, they craft contrasting worlds using imagery and archetypal symbolism, guiding audiences to places both familiar and unknown. With a commitment to intuitive decision-making and collaborative listening, their repertoire includes trios, ensemble compositions, and commissioned pieces.

KINSCAPE, conceived exclusively for the PHI Centre, was performed and created by: Erin O'Loughlin, Matthew Quigley and Laura Toma.

Cet automne, les créatures explorent un nouvel habitat ! Nous emmenons KIN à l'extérieur, où la canopée des arbres devient le décor et où nous sommes éclairés par le soleil, la lune et les lucioles (souhaite). Viens nous voir adapter, morphoser et propager dans le magnifique amphithéâtre du parc récréoforestier du St-Mathieu-du-Parc !

Performance par Lucy M. May, Geneviève Boulet, Matthew Quigley, Laura Toma, Erin O'Loughlin avec musique par l'extraordinaire Shash'U

Mu.es par une énergie indomptable, 20 interprètes se retrouvent, encerclé.es par le public, témoin de la force du mouvement de masse qui se dessine. Hommage à la danse libératrice, Rhapsodie célèbre la pulsion de vie des êtres qui ne se regardent pas danser, l’abandon subversif des corps sur la piste de danse. Une décharge humaine qui frappe de plein fouet.

Created by LA TRESSE, Prima Materia is a procession for six dancers which combines voice and dance in honour of the lunar cycle. This ritual, which employs a Romanian folk song, celebrates the period in the lunar cycle where the moon is absent from the sky; the in-between moment of absolute potential that provides a metaphor for the current global context. Through the rhythmic patterns of their feet, the dancers create an architecture in the outdoor space that invites the public to meditate on the cyclical nature of life. The physical intensity of the bodies combined with the polyphony of voices transports the viewer to a world which straddles the mystical and the natural.

“Being a Dino is not what it used to be. Likewise, ‘Dino’ is not what it used to be. Its story-world and choreography were not created with the coronavirus pandemic in mind. The film was shot two weeks before New York City went into lockdown and film and TV productions were halted. We never could have expected to be indefinitely stuck at home wearing masks just right after completing our one-day shoot. All throughout post we have been keenly aware of how the film’s themes of isolation, paranoia, and human connection have changed due to current events. It seems that though our story stayed the same, the message evolved to fit the times. Perhaps Dino captures a snapshot from a bygone era, reminding us that this new world is one we used to fantasize about.” - Claire Halloran & Alexander Lu (Directors)
