Dance Ontario Creative
Partnerships for 2015
DanceWeekend —
Dance Ontario’s Selection Committee
is delighted to announce that choreographers
Hanna Kiel and Courtnae Bowman have been
chosen for the 2014 Creative Partnerships Program.
These unique artists will bring two exciting
world premieres to the Fleck Dance Theatre
stage in January as part of Dance Ontario
DanceWeekend 2015.
2014 Dora Mavor Moore nominee for
Outstanding Choreography Hanna Kiel will be
creating Ugly Hero, a 15 minute section of a
full evening work to be presented in the fall of
2015 entitled Armband. Performed by Erin
Poole, Daniel McArthur and Kate Holden, this
highly physical piece will explore the effects of
power, authority and evil while delivering a
strong emotional impact on audiences.
Cadence Ballet’s Artistic Director
Courtnae Bowman will work with a large
group of dancers who symbolize the collective
consciousness moving as one human
race. Inspired by Bach’s Concerto in D Minor,
each individual’s story will be reflected in the
music’s movements and by the unique quality
and vocabulary of each dancer. Bowman is
interested in exposing the pointe shoe in new
ways, utilizing its brilliant engineering to explore unique movements and experimenting
with ways it can be stripped of its more conventional uses.

life of the company.
