Acts of Discovery, 2019
October 24-27, 2019 at the Dairy Distribution Art Modern Building
Discoveries await around every corner of an Art Moderne warehouse when Wild Space Dance Company creates a new performance adventure! Wander through the chambers and anterooms of the former dairy distribution plant as dancers and musicians transform industrial relics into site-based vignettes. Steel milk crates become dance shoes, glazed brick walls offer a sound source, and pipes, platforms and sinks become props and stages for intimate gestures and bold movements. Choose your own path among the revolving acts and discover something new!
Sound design by C. Olivia Valenza.
“With all the machinery and storage items removed, the rooms offer layers of perspective. Secret passages open from one space to another allowing performers to appear or disappear moving between the scenes. Using this as an inspiration, we have created a performance that moves in a kaleidoscope-like rotation with shifting dances and dancers. The fun is in the puzzle of the changes.”
—Debra Loewen, Founding Artistic Director
