Dear Friends:
We are thrilled to announce that 2125 Stanley Street has received the National Dance Project Touring Award! The award enables us to continue to adapt the project to new spaces and reach new audiences, as we plant seeds for developing a new work. We are in the midst of planning the tour, which will include performances in a variety of spaces, and residency activities including master classes, conversations on themes of diaspora and cultural hybridity, and opportunities for audiences to "play the space", interacting with the electronic soundscape designed by composer Loren Kiyoshi Dempster.
To inquire about bringing this work to your campus, institution or venue with National Dance Project funding, please contact our Touring Coordinator, Jane Forde. We hope the New Year is off to a great start for you!
With gratitude,
Dahlia
About the work:
2125 Stanley Street is a contemporary dance performance exploring deeply personal notions of home. Dancers/co-creators Dahlia Nayar, Margaret Sunghe Paek and cellist/composer Loren Kiyoshi Dempster (see bios below) adapt the work as it migrates to various spaces: a studio, a theater, a gallery, a community grange, a buddhist church. We excavate the everyday and the mundane in search of a poetic consciousness, infusing basic tasks with virtuosity and nostalgia, summoning fragmented multilingual memories and lullabies from our childhoods. Ultimately, 2125 Stanley Street aims to invite the audience into a home that unfolds through movement, sound and intimate exchange, a home that is is both familiar and yet cannot exactly be located. Named "Best of Stage and Screen" 2015 by Downeast Magazine, Stanley Street is a recipient of the National Dance Project Touring Award for 2016-17 . See a video link for the work here.
