Tantamount Behaviors

An unusual dance/theatre solo inspired by odd things in which performer Tanya Podlozniuk endures a pair of walking snowpants, a bad telephone conversation and an open improvisation section, and eventually disguises herself by waving six arms while using the other two to tiptoe away.

Moon Ghost

A solo work that explores the sense of familiarity that surfaces in sudden moments, moments that pass through us like shadows or previous lives. Drawing inspiration from the contemplative and transcendental flavours of the Orient, Moon Ghost supports a harmony that surpasses the visual and auditory senses and amplifies the poetry that is common to humankind.

The Opposite of a Good Idea

Bringing the veracity of a long time improvisational relationship to this work, Clarke and trumpeter J.P. Carter join dancer Tanya Podlozniuk in this movement study that draws together rich and curious movement with odd yet satisfying rhythmic patterns in an attempt to widen the possibilities of communication.
