Distillery District - Dance Ontario
Following its success in 2007, Dance Ontario’s second dusk til dawn Nuit Blanche excursion will
highlight the edgy, urban talents of Octamerous who have been commissioned to create an original site-specific
movement and sound performance featuring the next wave of the city’s most innovative dancers and
vocalists within a multi-channel soundscape created by Chris Willes. Issues of time dissolve as travelling
dances trace different paths across the site and explorations merge the Distillery’s storied past
with its present revitalization. Performers Amanda Acorn, Masuyo Higashide, Emily Law, Julia Male, Brodie
Stevenson, Robin Dann, Thom Gill, Charlotte Mundy, Alex Samaras and Willes will draw from the physical
history of the Distillery District, in a riveting and revealing work that travels throughout the entire
site.
