Canada Dance Festival Opens Tonight

It is coming to the stage tonight: the 2011 Canada Dance Festival.


The festival opens with Montreal artist Jacques Poulin Denis, who will be dancing his Cible de Dieu choreography (Target of God). The number is meant to convey the struggle and victory of the artist over challenges. The dance will bring performer and audience together through compelling movement and dialogue. As a CDF volunteer, I will be meeting Poulin Denis today to interview him about his work and his participation in the festival. Stay tuned for the video posted on Youtube!

The CDF will also showcase Kashedance, Helen Husak, Lara Kramer, 605 Collective and Ottawa's own BBOYIZM. The festival runs every evening at 7:30 p.m. from Wednesday June 15 to Saturday, June 18 at the National Arts Centre. Check out the schedule here.


I'll be attending most of the shows and blogging about them. If you prefer to see the shows than to read about them, then get your ticket before it's too late! This is the best quality/price ratio in contemporary dance so if you like this artform or this type of event, don't miss out.
