Ame Henderson / Public Recordings (Toronto)

“Henderson is an agent provocateur of dance.” – Globe and Mail

Dubbed “notoriously adventurous” by Toronto Life, Canadian choreographer Ame Henderson brings us relay—a disarming investigation into the taboos and pleasures of watching and making movement in unison. A cross-disciplinary collaboration between eight dancers and two musicians, relay asks important questions about the politics and possibility of togetherness. Borrowing from memories of dances past, relay re-imagines unison, asking how we maintain our sense of self while working together.
 
relay is a co-production of The CanDance Network Creation Fund, Harbourfront Centre, Rencontres chorégraphiques internationales de Seine-Saint-Denis, Vancouver East Cultural Centre, Agora de la danse and Canada Dance Festival, and  supported by the Dance Section of the Canada Council for the Arts.

Performed by Eric Chenaux, Eric Craven, Chad Dembski, Tomislav Feller, Claudia Fancello, Matija Ferlin, Mairéad Filgate, Marie Claire Forté, Brendan Jensen and Bee Pallomina.
