A dance for the 21st century, internationally acclaimed artistic director Christopher House’s full-length work Timecode Break was described in The Globe and Mail as, “a brilliant work among the greatest dances ever created in Canada.” A mesmerizing evocation, the piece is about time, presence, and the ephemeral beauty of the body. Choreographed simultaneously for stage and video screen, it integrates razor-sharp dancing with gorgeous video images to create a brave new kinetic landscape where slashing jumps and sudden falls coexist with moments of exquisite stillness. A technical tour-de-force that won three Dora Mavor Moore Awards including outstanding production, Timecode Break pushes dancers to the edge in lighting-fast unison, fierce counterpoint, and powerful solos. One of the treasures of Canadian dance, TDT is dedicated to creating original works and renowned for their intelligent, stunning dance. For more information visit their website. |
