I'm playing records at Made In BC's Democratization of Dance Party Nov 22 @ Vancity Theatre. Bring your records, play some of mine & dance! Also ft. 'dance-priming' by Elissa Hanson.

A scored improvisation for 4 performers, 1 chair, my record player and LPs from my collection, NEW RAW is a wild ride through the deep-seeded physical desires of 4 young women. After 5 blissed-out summer weeks in residence, we dance 6 performances in Oct/Nov at EDAM Dance, alongside new works by Peter Bingham & Rob Kitsos.
NEW RAW costume/set designer Natalie Purschwitz's song pick for you is 'Tribute to Tomorrow' by Colouroid: LISTEN
NEW RAW Reviews! Thanks to Mark Jacobs and Peter Dickinson

When I was young I spent the majority of my time dancing and playing sports—as much time in studios and gyms as in my family homes, especially if I count attending my parents and brothers activities too. The above montage catalogues just some of the studios I've 'lived in' in recent years in Vancouver, Edmonton, Toronto and Saskatoon...
Inspired by Susan Sontag's essay 'Against Interpretation', we (Deanna Peters, Molly McDermott, Elissa Hanson, Jennifer Hamman, Alexa Mardon, Areli Moran, Shannon Hargrove, 6 chairs, Deanna's record player and lp's from Deanna's collection) present This dance is not about... at The Contingency Plan's The Interplay Project @ Moberly Arts & Cultural Centre June 7 + 8. Join us as we challenge perception of dance (like, wtf is it?).
After many requests from students and friends, as well as some recent reads on dance and music, I'm 'publishing' Blare Public Playlists
Every Tues in Feb, I present some new dance bits at Mascall Dance's very informal BLOOM: 5 minute bits by 5 choreographers, a wine-pairing w/ each bit, a stand-up comic... no joke!!!
Please join me for a showing of solo research, supported by the Canada Council and the British Columbia Arts Council: Jan 18, 12pm @ Scotiabank Dance Centre. See what I have been up to: delving into somatic practice, improvisation; and more personal choreographic sources (w/ outside eye Helen Walkley).
