TRANSFIXATION

Transfixation is an Interdisciplinary performance with Contemporary Dance, Live Music, Song. The project has been in development for 5 years

Transfixation focuses on the lives and experiences of 6 women, ranging in age from 21 to 74. The multi-generational production includes emerging dance artists as well as experienced and senior artists. The short (4-6 minute) dances are accompanied live on grand piano to Beethoven Sonatas in the Music Room of Hart House, University of Toronto.This Avant Garde project consciously seeks to create collisions between the beautiful and clear creations of Beethoven and the raw emotional dancing of the women.

At times they ‘go along’ with the perfectly placed classical notes, but also resist, ignore, enter darkness, and dance with no boundaries – rising like a phoenix in triumph. Ultimately, the Artist’s own voice becomes the victor.
