Revealing Gestures: four dance works that push the edges of movement
	Three performances only (all tickets $10): Tuesday, August 3 at 8 pm., Sunday, August 8 at 3 pm, Tuesday, August 10 at 8 pm

Have you ever danced in a wheelchair? What do the martial arts, stage combat, the flight of birds and architectural design have in common. Revealing Gestures, a startling four-part Off-site fFIDA event, weds unorthodox movement expression with radical flights of fancy to challenge our concepts of grace, power, freedom and dance.
In Slipping Ground two people on a journey to find some common ground to express the attractions and barriers that bring them together and separate them. Choreographed and performed by Jack That Fish (Mark Brose and Rachel Gorman), the work features original music by Lilia Silveira.
Public Notice gives vent to visceral emotions not often acknowledged or noticed. Two individuals co-exist and explore their struggle for recognition and acknowledgment through a haze of invisibility. The dancers, Viv Moore and Spirit Synott, weave their relationship through dance, contact, stage combat and martial arts.
In Journey the dance begins in the darkness where every being sleeps under the snow dreaming. Our inner journey continues to an unknown land where a bird flaps its wings to weave our dreams and the fire in the centre dances with its light and shadows. Journey is choreographed and performed by Meiko Ando, with music performed by Roderick Zalameda.
Put together an architect, an occupational therapist, an actor, two graphic designers and a researcher and what do you get? In Reflections, professional choreographer, Lisa Sandlos and her eclectic cast present a visually stunning and emotionally charged dance piece born out of improvisations that combine the ideals and expertise of the each performer’s life work.
Revealing Gestures is an Off-site event at fFIDA, the Fringe Festival of Independent Dance Artists.
