Snow: (a study)

Date: Thursday, November 5, 2009
Time: 6:00pm–7:30pm
Location: W16, Kresge Little Theater

Description:
A dance theater piece based on memory. Utilizing both video and dance, it merges two unsettling walks, revealing both the sinister and serene feeling from snow and how a relationship can disappear in the cold. Performed by Tymberly Canale and Neil Harris. Tymberly Canale is a performer, choreographer, and teacher who has collaborated and performed with the Bessie and Obie award winning company Big Dance Theater since 1995. She has also performed in the work of Poppo and the GoGo Boys, Richard Move, David Neumann, Stacy Dawson and Robert LaFosse. Canale is a graduate of the Hollins University/American Dance Festival MFA program and has taught dance composition at both NYU/Tisch School of the Arts Experimental Theater Wing as well as in the Six Week School at the American Dance Festival. Her own choreography has been presented in New York City through the Catch series, AUNTS, in a Mainstage production of Bertolt Brecht's "A Respectable Wedding," at New York University, and in Tristan Tzara's "The Gas Heart" for Big Dance Theater, which toured internationally to the EXIT Festival in France.
