Renaissance
Inspired by early music, Renaissance isa spectacular collaboration between Ballet Kelowna and Toronto’s Continuum Contemporary Music that showcases some of Canada’s finest choreographers, dancers and composers. Noted for injecting their work with a raw physicality and kinetic exuberance, Simone Orlando and Heather Myers will each create a new piece, infusing their creations with an experimental flair and imaginative charge. Internationally renowned for his outpouring of choreographic inventiveness, James Kudelka’s Byrd Music, back by popular demand, highlights the choreographer’s mastery of innovation and the extreme athleticism and depth of emotion of the company of artists. Acclaimed Canadian choreographer John Alleyne’s neo-classical quartet – Split House Geometric – is a vigorous, precision-perfect work. Poetic moments of pure contemporary ballet are juxtaposed with sharp, staccato movements with bodies creating geometric shapes to brilliant effect. Rising stars from The National Ballet of Canada, Hannah Fischer and Ethan Watts, will make a special guest appearance to perform a new duet by NBoC’s Choreographic Associate Robert Binet. Toronto’s Continuum Contemporary Music has been a vital part of the contemporary cultural scene in Canada and abroad for 31 years, and will bring each of the pieces in Renaissanceto dazzling heights with their live performance.
