About
A work-in-progress performance of Recollect took place as part of the Heart of the City Festival, 2019.
Since 2006 the principle supporting The Carnegie Dance Troupe is absolute inclusivity. Performances are created through a process of collaboration, seeking to connect us to our body, to our breath, to the energy of the earth, to each other and our diverse communities.
Exploring themes through dance, music and poetry, this work-in-progress weaves together new choreographic directions with The Carnegie Dance Troupe’s repertoire. Through a process of co-remembering and welcoming contributions, we focused on the ensemble as a whole, with troupe members that are present, and those who have passed.
Healing themes of ocean and forest, trees and roots as well as the animals within have emerged – the deer, the bear, the salmon, the orca… A sense of gratitude, adventure and joy emerges from our practice of connection to our bodies and together as a group. We hope the witnessing of this process also transforms you in that way.
