onde de choc: Ginette Laurin's new work
In this work, Ginette Laurin probes the inherent sonority of the body, exploring and amplifying the sounds that are directly generated by the dancers' movements. Onde de choc (Shock Wave) premiered at Festival TransAmériques on May 28-30.
o vertigo to open and close the festival de danse et des arts multiples de marseille (francE)
Invited as part of the focus on Canadian dance, O Vertigo opened the 15th edition of the Festival de Danse et des Arts multiples de Marseille (F/D/Am/M) with La Vie qui bat (2009 revival) on June 17 and 18. In this work, the choreography flows to the repetitive patterns of a live performance of Drumming by Steve Reich, evoking never-ending movement. On this occasion, the O Vertigo dancers were accompanied by l’Orchestre des Jeunes de la Méditerranée Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur under the direction of Georges Van Gucht, a founding member of Les Percussions de Strasbourg.
After its world premiere at Festival TransAmériques in Montreal, Onde de choc was presented for the first time in Europe when it closed the dance program of the F/D/Am/M (Festival de Danse et des Arts multiples de Marseille) on July 5, 2010.
La Chambre Blanche (re-creation 2008)
After the resounding success of three European tours, three weeks of shows in Montreal, and two representations at the Festival de Marseille (France), La Chambre Blanche (re-creation 2008) was presented at the Festival Oriente Occidente (Italy), on September 7 and 8, 2009 and at the Festival Internacional Cervantino (Mexico), on October 28 to 30, 2009. La Chambre Blanche will also be presented in Canada in May, 2011.
Created in 1992, the original version of La Chambre Blanche has toured extensively in Europe, North America, Israel and Asia and won the 1992 Grand Prix of the Conseil des arts de la Communauté urbaine de Montréal and the Dora Mavor Moore Award in Toronto. |

Artist's Residency Policy Since its founding in 1984, O Vertigo has dedicated itself to research and creation in dance, with equal emphasis on training and the development of the discipline in all its forms. Since the recent opening of its new creation centre at Place des Arts (Centre de Création O Vertigo: CCOV), the company has reaffirmed its mission, and, in the spirit of sharing resources, it is offering other artists in the dance milieu access to these new facilities which provide optimum conditions for practising the discipline. |
