A quartet with live sound design by performers. This work, by Jennifer Clarke recipient of 2011 Santa Aloi award, explores the depth and surfaces of space, how and why we move in open space and how we move inside our own space, either physically or psychologically.

Jennifer Clarke is an independent performer based in Vancouver, B.C. Canada. She graduated from the University of Calgary with a Bachelor of Arts in Literature and Contemporary Dance. For the last 12 years, she has maintained a consistent art practice including both choreography and improvisation. She is equally practiced in the arts of improvisation as performance and choreographed dance making. Her work has been supported and shown by Vancouver presenters such as the Scotiabank Dance Centre, Dancing on the Edge, and Dances for a Small Stage. She has also been presented in Nicole Mion’s Calgary Fluid Festival and One Yellow Rabbit's prestigious interdisciplinary festival The High Performance Rodeo. Most recently she has participated in an international choreographic research project TRIPTYCH, traveling to Italy and Montreal. This project was mentored by dance dramaturge Guy Cools and included 2 other choreographers from Italy and Montreal.


Jennifer Clarke gratefully acknowledges the support of the Dance Centre's artist in residency program as well as BCAC. She is also grateful to receive the Santa Aloi award, without which this new work would not have been possible.

Using the thematics of the musical chair game, the ABC’s of Goodbye reveals the ebb and flow of saying goodbye.

In 2009, the work was remounted for a Canadian tour with new commissions by Daniel Léveillé and Nigel Charnock. 10 Things You’ll Hate about Me, a collaboration with playwright and director James Fagan Tait, premiered at The Cultch in 2010.
