7.15pm - CONTEMPORARY DANCE - SOLO - "DAG"
| PETER CHIN (Canada), multidisciplinary
dance-artist from Toronto presents a new site-specific
dance solo especially created for The Other Festival. His cultural and
artistic background is breathtakingly diverse, and is reflected in his
award-winning work. Born in Jamaica of Chinese, Irish and Afican descent,
Chin emigrated to Toronto where he has become one of Canada's brightest
artistic forces. Peter Chin is respected and sought after
as a choreographer / dancer, composer / musician, designer and director.
He has presented his work across Canada at major dance and music festivals,
and internationally in Japan, Singapore, Holland, Jamaica, and the United
States. Peter Chin has also presented work at festivals in Indonesia, where
he was based between 1990 and 1997. This is Mr Chin's first presentation
in India.
For the Other Festival Peter Chin dances in a work entitled DAG. He will create spontaneously within a rigorous temporal, spatial and sonic framework, in a work that responds directly to the surrounding environment of the specific site. The tension between the fixed and free elements of DAG will inform the body language of Mr Chin as he moves from sensuous to warrior-like to ferile and beyond. |
