Ileanna and I are at it again.
We’ve created another dance and we’re showing it at Nextfest.
Sunday June 8 at 6pm. Friday June 13 and Saturday June 14 at 5pm. The Roxy Theatre. Edmonton.
We play with boundaries. We play with oranges.
We create tasks and we complete them.
We’re the same, but ultimately different.
(And we dance with knives!)
We hope to see you there.

Entrelacement Dance is a company of emerging dance artists in Edmonton, Alberta. We work together to create and develop new contemporary dance works.
Location: St. John’s Institute (11024 Whyte Avenue), first floor gallery
Start time: 1:00pm, doors open at 12:30. The audition will be about 2 hours long.
Come warm and ready to explore! Audition will consist of a contemporary technique class, as well as dance composition and improv exercises.
More information can be found on the official Facebook event.
The 2013-14 season will run from September to May, and culminate in a 6-show run in May 2014.
We are offering a scholarship for one dancer this year – please contact tatianacheladyn (at) gmail . com for more information
The whole program costs $500 for 9 months of dance instruction and creation, the final show in May, as well as other exciting performance opportunities! With fundraising, there’s a chance that this cost will go down.
We just finished our first season by showcasing our first, self-titled work at Nextfest 2013.
Nextfest is Edmonton’s festival of emerging artists. There are shows in every art discipline you can think of. It features the work of artists under the age of 30. It’s fantastic and it’s happening NOW.
I may be a little biased. I’ve shown my work in Nextfest for the past couple years. “Booking Streets,” the dance piece I presented last year, in the process of being turned into a dance film – look out for the trailer soon!
This year my sis, Ileanna, and I collaborated to choreograph a duet for ourselves. It’s called “Sometimes a Pet.” It’s form-based (lots of cool moves, not much of a story) and it’s the first time that we’ve co-created a piece.
Our first show was yesterday and we had a blast. We’re in the show entitled Shimmer with five other dance pieces. The show is diverse, ranging from the performance art of Jeannie Vandekerkhove in “Moon River,” a contemporary/jazz piece by Stephanie Lilley called “Starry Eyed,” dances from Victoria School of the Arts’s composition and IB classes, and us.
Shimmer also shows tonight at 9:00pm and on Tuesday, June 12 at 9:30pm at the Roxy Theatre in Edmonton, AB.
Nextfest has a TON of other things going on though. Their website is here. Check out all of the amazing work that young artists in Edmonton are creating now! Hope to see you there!
