Concordia Dance Department: Contredanse
1st Year Contemporary Dance students perform new works.
Don't miss the upcoming production exploring various meanings of "contredanse," presented by Concordia's first-year Creative Process class and professors Erin Flynn and Lilia Mestre. The production uses hybrid encounters between cultures and techniques to explore the different dances within us that unite and divide.
The term "contredanse" historically refers to a French country dance in the 18th century, which required cooperation to execute the various geometric figures because the steps were not standardized. In French, "contre" can mean "besides," "encounter," "instead of," "despite," or "inverse," while in English, "counter" denotes retaliating, answering, hitting back, opposing, resisting, warding off, or defying.
The piece examines the challenges of competition and cooperation within community, and the shadow aspects of the self. This performance aims to explore the negotiation of individual identities in relation to the collective.
