2011/2012 brings new horizons!
On May 4, 2011 Live Art Dance announced its 29th season line-up, arguably its most ambitious season to date. The line-up includes seven shows: 3 in the Sir James Dunn, 3 in the Rebecca Cohn, and 1 in a to be determined site-specific location. The number of shows in the Cohn define Live Art’s current evolution: while we are respected for protecting Halifax’s identity as a port of call for dance-makers from the leading edge of the discipline, this season heralds our commitment to providing local audiences with regular access international touring companies. While we have certainly done this in the past, these companies have often appeared as a special event. With the Atlantic premiere of La La La Human Steps and the return of BJM Danse, we are serving notice that audiences can look forward to regular visits by extraordinary dance artists!
Check out our 2011/12 calendar for a complete list of activities.
A BRIEF HISTORY -
In 1982, Diane Moore had a vision to create a beacon around which contemporary dance arts could flourish in Atlantic Canada. Her passion and inspiration lead to the creation of Live Art Dance Productions, the most important organisation dedicated to the presentation and cultivation of contemporary dance east of Montreal. Both a springboard from which tomorrow’s stars launch their careers and a platform for national & international artists, Live Art Dance satisfies a public thirst for passionate movement that speaks to heart and mind.
In 2003 we lost Diane, but not her dream! Sustaining it has involved a renewed commitment of passion, inspiration, and vision – and the investment is paying off. In the past five years, Live Art’s annual programming has almost doubled and we’ve experienced unprecedented audience growth. Our position as one of the most progressive arts organizations in Eastern Canada is firmly established and we continue to fulfil a unique role in enriching Nova Scotia’s rich cultural landscape.
