Toronto Dance Theatre presents “Severe Clear” – Nov 17 to 20

Inspired by Christopher House’s journey to Canada’s Yukon, Severe Clear is a cool, urban response to the wild beauty of the North. Dancers morph into animals and back into humans, with movement ranging from risky partnering to inventive solos and ensemble work. Whimsical, spontaneous and deeply spiritual, Severe Clear evokes the feelings, stories and astounding physicality of the mythical North.

Alive, in the moment and completely exposed
The Globe and Mail – http://bit.ly/cduON1

“In Toronto Dance Theatre’s performance of Deborah Hay’s Up Until Now, the 12 company members are so alive, so in the moment, that you feel you know them as people. Many things may be going on simultaneously all over the stage, but the dancers’ individuality never falters.”

“Up Until Now shows the dancers in the delirious freedom of performance. Hay may have set the structure of the work – a trio will occur here, followed by people walking arm and arm there, etc. – but the dancers found their own unique movement patterns based on a series of challenges set by Hay.”

“Up Until Now continues at Winchester Street Theatre until Oct. 23.”
