Canada Dance Festival: Isolated Incidents

Contemporary Dance Dept: You can have a range of experiences in your life, says the Toronto dancer-choreographer, and they appear to be isolated, but actually they re all connected, according to The Star. Although the work inevitably draws from her own experience it is not, she emphasizes, autobiographical. I like my work to communicate with people and not be too self-absorbed. If it becomes too inward-looking it won t be able to pierce the emotional armour of the audience that in-the-moment experience of truly being touched and life may seem at times like a series of isolated incidents but as Nova Bhattacharya hopes to show this week, there s an underlying continuity. Bhattacharya, a notable presence in the contemporary dance scene, has been working for three years on Isolated Incidents, the solo she will unveil here May 13-15 at Enwave Theatre , Harbourfront Centre and perform next month at the prestigious Canada Dance Festival in Ottawa. As reported in the news.
