Heaven

The gasp of breath, the surprising slap of flesh against flesh, and the stamp of foot to floor, sounds the body’s vulnerability and power- this is the score of “Heaven”. Deeply physical, “Heaven” is Ivanochko’s most explicit example of movement as metaphor for heart and mind. Starting from the idea that heaven is the ultimate place of union and love, this work explores the biological and emotional urgency of mating and the dissolution of self in the other. Stripped of clothing, the dancers’ bodies speak with an economy and sexuality that impacts viscerally. Naked, thematically and dramatically, this piece startles and seduces with its primal imagery and heart breaking honesty.

Choreographer: Sasha Ivanochko, Performers: Sasha Ivanochko, Brendan Wyatt, Brodie Stevenson*

blackandblue dance projects

Love, guts, brain and brawn are the stuffs of blackandblue dance projects. Born out of Artistic Director Sasha Ivanochko’s insistence on getting to the heart of the matter, the work is body centric, core physical and candid. Working from the belief that the body’s range of physical coordination has unlimited potential, her artistic discourse is informed by rigorous, intellectual and playful in-studio investigation. Marked by an unusual sense of beauty and an intuitive musicality, Ivanochko’s singular physical language explores and reveals the metaphoric implications of movement. The art of blackandblue and the artist are driven by a great longing, a love of the under-dog, and a fierce sense of inner flight.  www.blackandbluedanceprojects.ca

CreatiVenture Collective



CreatiVenture Collective (CVC) was born of a gap which exists in the young patron groups of many large arts organizations - to have a meaningful and sustainable impact on artists and arts organizations in our communities through one-time investments and capacity building; to truly engage patrons in the work of arts organizations; and to grow future audience base through exposure to artists and productions which would otherwise remain unknown. 

 

Brainchild of Stephen Delaney, Corporate Finance Associate Paradigm Capital and staff of Canada's National Ballet School, CreatiVenture Collective is where emerging artists, young leaders and businesses collide to form transformational partnerships.  The goal is to guide artists through entrepreneurial challenges they face everyday as they present, sell, and ultimately survive off their creative talents. Visit us at www.creativenture.ca for details on how you can get involved and start making an impact.
