My brains seems to want to be challenged more than it usually does these days - if I run across something that I know has a high likelihood of eliciting a WTF?! in my brain, I want to be there. So, welcome to my night with Compagnie Marie Chouinard.
The language of dance is not something I have at my fingertips (or anywhere else in my body); that being said, we are all able to read meaning into movement to some extent, because we do it every day to help us survive in the world. Chouinard's interest in this piece has to do with the relationship of intelligence and body . Does her explanation make my head hurt? Yes, a little bit - but that's what I love about it.
Watching the piece, my brain was happily enjoying its fair share of WTF?! moments. And I have to give props to dancers who are willing to suck each other's toes, and stick their tongues to the floor...and perhaps most disturbing, dance while wearing Stephen Harper masks.
Thank you, Marie Chouinard.
