Older and Reckless is 10 years old!
And to celebrate Claudia Moore is featuring works by three stellar female Canadian dance artists- Patricia Beatty, Denise Fujiwara and the late Lola Maclaughin.

For the 10th anniversary of Older and Reckless Moore is thrilled to present solo dances by two women that have been major inspirations to her, Canadian modern dance icon P atricia Beatty, and the late Lola MacLaughlin, founder of internationally acclaimed LolaDance.

Vancouver’s extraordinary Susan Elliot will perform MacLaughlin’s solo excerpt from Princess, Infanta, Queen and Toronto dance light, Danielle Baskerville, will perform Beatty’s solo entitled The High Heart with music by Avro Part.

Rounding out the December program are Tom Brouillette and Gerry Trentham, presenting Tomas and Gerald, a duet inspired by the life of monks. And the internationally accliamed Denise Fujiwara will perform part of her new solo.

OLDER & RECKLESS, an informal performance series, features work from OLDER artists who continue to grow more RECKLESS as time goes by. OLDER & RECKLESS provides an opportunity for seasoned dance artists to perform short works and a chance for the audience to see some of Canada’s most celebrated senior choreographers.

Conceived as a twice-yearly event by Claudia Moore, artistic director of MOonhORsE Dance Theatre, OLDER & RECKLESS is “an intimate exchange for both the performer and the observer; exciting, terrifying, and lots of fun. The performances are followed by a party with music, refreshments, and a chance to talk with the artists about work, process, and whatever else comes up!”

Nia workshop only on December 12th at 5pm!

Nia is a mindful body practice that incorporates three martial arts, three dance arts and three healing arts into a facilitated experience of personal expression, dynamic physicality and playful communal dance. It explores the discipline of form and the adventure of freedom to an eclectic range of music – excellent for those older and reckless people who have always wanted to dance or tend to only dance in their living rooms alone while watching “So You Think You Can Dance.” Martha Randall has been teaching Nia in Toronto for 12 years and leads Nia White Belt trainings throughout Canada, the first step towards becoming a Nia teacher.
