Fluid Festival 2014: Tentacle Tribe | Wilson | Tran
TENTACLE TRIBE | MONTREAL NOBODY LIKES A PIXELATED SQUID
See this show as part of a FLIP PASS
"Nobody Likes a Pixelated Squid () is seriously good, full of very physical hip-hop virtuosity and pure, youthful energy." (The Dance Current, Top Ten 2013)
Tentacle Tribe is a Canadian-Swedish creative alliance between Emmanuelle Lê Phan and Elon Höglund. This Montreal-based dance company creates uncommon dance works with a contemporary twist, using conceptual Hiphop and influences from a subterranean and aquatic universe of earthly creatures.
They made a strong impression with pieces for Cirque du Soleil, Cirque Éloize and the RUBBERBANDance Group, generating interest among critics from the very start with their personal creations. In a delectable fusion of music and movement, they invent a geometry of harmonious urban contemporary dance that they call "conceptual hip-hop" or "deconstructed street dance".
These autodidactic creatures of infinite possibilities approach choreography through a wide variety of movement philosophies. Active participants in the street dance scene, b-boy and b-girl, contemporary dance, and as stage performers, they formed Tentacle Tribe. They wish to create work that transcends the boundaries separating movement styles, and pieces that express the embodiment of music beyond technique. The work experiments with intricate partnering, refined musicality and a saturated dose of physical choreography.
TONY TRAN | CALGARY THE LIMELIGHT
Extreme arresting looks that weren't always pretty and in fact were often ugly was the way a lot of the Club Kids looked. A lot of them were outcasts wherever they came from, so they came to New York and they were part of this freaky scene were they are stars.
TARA WILSON | CALGARY TOGETHER IN A SEPARATE WORLD
Together in a Separate World explores the interplay between intimacy and longing and the loneliness we sometimes feel in the company of others. Originally developed for Dancers' Studio West's AIR this works is now presented at the Fluid Festival with a year of thought and exploration supporting this evolved, full scale, technicolor version.
Performers: Christopher Clare, Danielle Wensley, Tara Wilson, and invited guests.
