As Soulpepper's Resident Dance Artist for the past 8 months, I've had the pleasure of working with many exceptional theatre artists - collaborating across disciplines to bring the sensibility of movement and dance into the training and creation processes at play inside this vibrant and very prolific theatre company!

Most recently, I've been engaged as Choreographer on the compelling and interdisciplinary collaboration that is Cage - an experimental interdisciplinary performance experience inspired by apes, Zen Buddhism and the ideas of avant-garde composer John Cage. I've been working alongside the work's co-creators - actor and Soulpepper founding member Diego Matamoros, Young Family Director of Design Lorenzo Savoini and Composer Richard Feren. Developed collaboratively at the intersection of artistic disciplines, Cage is a meditation on time, space, memory, and the human animal. 

"Our goal was to create something that was the result of chance encounters between various disciplines that would be governed by a structure, with all three of us as active performers... Space, themes, objects, text, performance, lighting, video projection and sound were all equal participants intersecting and juxtaposing one another as they created an abstract collage of experience."

I am delighted to invite you to the theatre to witness Cage, at the Michael Young Theatre (Young Centre), running until Saturday, March 25th. Cage will then travel to New York's Off-Broadway Signature Theatre this July as part of Soulpepper's 20th anniversary season and Canada's 150 birthday.

See you at the theatre,
