Shameless Plug of the Month: Live Art Dance – COMPAGNIE MARIE CHOUINARD – March 8 at 8pm at the Rebecca Cohn Auditorium Radical Vitality is the result of Marie Chouinard delving into her company’s repertoire to compose a new work consisting of solos and duets. She brought a new perspective to these small choreographic forms and recreated them: new costumes or sound environments, new choreographic adaptations, etc. She also unearthed certain projects which, until now, were stuck in the pages of her choreographer’s notebooks. Amongst the review of duets and solos is a brand-new duet that Chouinard choreographed for this collection. For more info visit https://liveartdance.ca/
