SUMMARY:MAYDAY: Confession Publique
DESCRIPTION:Confession Publique\n\n\n\n\n“ A sensually complex work\, Confession Publique leaves us enthralled before Angélique Willkie’s breadth of talent and her fruitful encounter with Demers’ world.” –  Alexie Legendre\, Revue JEU  \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nMAYDAY\nTiohtià:ke/Montreal – Kanien’kehá:Ka Territory\n\n\n\n\nNovember 14th & 15th\, 2025. 7:30PM  \nAlderney Landing Theatre\nGeneral Seating – $65.00 Dance Advocate; $45.00 Adults; $35.00 Seniors; $20.00 Students / Arts Worker; Group Discounts Available \nRun Time – 75 Minutes \nContent Warning: Nudity\, 18+ suggested. An Active Listener will be available on site if needed.\nThis show tackles experiences of racism\, sexual violation\, and living in an aging body\, as well as the power of transformation. It contains nudity and mature content. \nTraffic Note: The Parade of Lights is taking place on Nov 15th at 5pm. Please allow time for potential traffic on your way to the show. \n\n\n\n\nIts title serving as a promise\, Confession Publique explores ambiguity and paradox\, probes the noble and the vulgar\, oscillates between grace and brutality. Choreographer Mélanie Demers turns her trusted collaborator Angélique Willkie into her muse. Together\, these two kindred spirits explore the act of telling others about yourself without reserve. The result is a hard-hitting solo show\, where anecdotes become painful secrets and the body reveals as much as words\, if not more. \nIn this work\, the protagonist concentrates on the margins as she takes a deep dive into herself and ourselves. The connection is intimate\, intimidating. The performance becomes the setting for questions asked a thousand times over: our relationship to the world\, how the environment holds our destinies in its hands\, and the power others have to dictate and dominate our life-choices. \n \nMAYDAY \nSince its foundation in 2007\, an array of charismatic and eclectic artists working with Mélanie Demers has been drawn to MAYDAY as a hub for creative exchange and reflection. Each MAYDAY work is thus the fruit of a collective effort. And not only between the artists: the public enters into the creative process as well\, since the physicality\, imagery\, and sense of rhythm characteristic of MAYDAY’s unique approach only come together as a coherent whole before an audience. Drawing on creative energies from around the world\, MAYDAY’s unique works testify to both a spirit of artistic freedom and a deep-seated concern for contemporary issues. Demers’ fascination and the relationship between words and gestures crystallizes in WOULD\, a work which won the Prix du CALQ for Best Choreography at the Prix de la danse de Montréal in 2015. WOULD will be followed by the choreographic relay Danse Mutante in 2019\, then in 2021 by La Goddam Voie Lactée\, MAMA and Confession Publique\, and finally in 2022 by Cabaret Noir. Mélanie Demers won the GRAND PRIX de la danse de Montréal\, which recognizes her unique mark on her era. MAYDAY tours frequently and has collaborated with many international partners. It is proud to be one of the few Canadian companies to have performed in both North America\, Europe\, Asia\, and Africa. \nMAYDAY tours frequently and has collaborated with many international partners.

SUMMARY:Archive of Loneliness
DESCRIPTION:Archive of Loneliness brings light to the isolation of seniors and how the end of life deserves our attention just as much as the beginning.

SUMMARY:African Rhythms and Melodies in Action – A Bodily Experience
DESCRIPTION:Come dance with us after the final showing of Altération! Join Aly for his workshop at Breaking Circus\nThis rhythm awakening workshop emphasizes the bodily experience of rhythm through movement\, singing\, melody\, and physical coordination.\n\nLed by multidisciplinary artist Aly Keita\, this workshop invites participants to explore the fundamental relationship between body and rhythm using a selection of recorded soundscapes and musical tracks. It offers an immersive experience in West African cultural elements\, helping participants develop rhythmic awareness through voice\, movement\, and guided exercises. \nThrough singing\, dancing\, and coordination exercises\, participants will sharpen their ability to feel and express rhythm physically. They will explore the dialogue between movement and music\, focusing on rhythmic precision\, play\, body posture\, and expression. The workshop encourages a deep connection to rhythm through improvisation and group dynamics. \nParticipants will also experiment with creating rhythmic patterns in groups\, responding to recorded African rhythms\, and engaging with the music through dance. The workshop will conclude with a collective expression circle and a question-and-answer session. \nDrop in registration at the door.\n  \n Offert en français et anglais! Offered in French and English! \n\n \n  \n \nBanner photo by Tee Porter. \n

SUMMARY:Altération
DESCRIPTION:Kira Arts / Aly Keita\nCo-presented with Live Art Dance\nHow do our lives intertwine? How do we manage to form prosperous balances? What happens when they break down? \nALTÉRATION addresses the transformations that punctuate our lives and our ability\, as human beings\, to influence both our own destiny and that of others. Aly Keita depicts a humanity that oscillates\, on an intimate and societal level\, between stability and uncertainty\, anchoring and uprooting\, change and resistance\, renewal and repetition. The relationship with the other and the complexity of ties lead to the need to hear and rebuild our relationship with ourselves and with our environment. Exploring the meaning of relationships in our society in a wide-ranging way\, both interpersonal relationships and those with other-than-human beings\, this work opens the way to the construction of possible new links that are formed through ecological and spiritual dimensions. Here\, life takes the form of a cycle of transformations. Memories of past experiences and scars – in other words\, alteration – are transmuted into a vital breath through reactivating movements\, both individual and collective\, that revitalize our bodies and rekindle our inner power. \n“Aly Keita’s artistic proposal finds its strength in the originality of its non-temporality\, its immediacy\, its treatment of identity\, which is defined by the idea of encounter\, of encounters\, breaking down the realistic and formal framework linked to a single art form. In this sense\, this multi-arts work is as much a choreographic piece as a circus piece; a musical work as well as a work of visual art in movement.” – Martin Bellemare – Note d’intention \n \nKira Arts\nKira is a word in Sousou\, the language of Guinea\, meaning “path“. It evokes the idea of life as a path we walk\, where we gather and unite. Founded in 2023\, Kira Arts creates stage works that bring together different artistic practices on an equal footing and promote intercultural dialogue between artists. In this way\, we cultivate an inclusive and diverse practice environment based on knowledge sharing and collaboration. Our artistic approach focuses on mediation as a field for research and creation. We select our collaborators based on their affinity with our shared interests and their artistic vision.

SUMMARY:Resting Space
DESCRIPTION:A Workshop by Becoming Old Growth\nWhat is your relationship with rest? Our personal experiences with burnout led us to global rest movements and the anti-capitalist rest manifesto of “Nap Bishop” Tricia Hersey. What changes when we recognize exhaustion as a collective issue rather than a personal one? In this three-hour workshop\, we invite participants into a guided\, communal resting space. Through gentle\, unstructured  opportunities to listen\, write\, draw\, move\, and make sound—or simply rest—the artists will guide participants to reflect on these  questions\, emphasizing the role of rest as a natural and necessary balance to labour. \nParticipants will be invited to share their ideas and experiences with the artists following the workshop session. Cushions and blankets will be available and you are welcome to bring your own comfort items to use during the workshop. \nRegistration Details\nPlease register in advance via this registration form: \n>>REGISTER HERE \nAge:\nWorkshop geared for adults and mature youth. No arts experience required. \nAccessibility:\nPlease indicate accessibility needs in the registration form by Monday\, April 29th. \nNote:\nWe will try to accommodate accessibility requests\, however we cannot guarantee as all requests can be met. We will email you if we cannot fulfill your request. \nChildcare:\nOn site childcare available upon request\, please fill out child care info in the registration form above and submit by Monday\, April 29th. \n \n\nAbout Becoming Old Growth:\nBecoming Old Growth is a multidisciplinary\, participatory trio that uses sound\, listening\, movement and poetry to encourage a deeper inhabitation of place\, awakening our selves and senses to the future already enfolded within past and present. BOG’s kinetic name\, inspired by a provocative article by Dan Longboat and Joe Sheridan\, reflects our shared desires to learn\, evolve\, and deepen our understandings\, as non-Indigenous residents of Mi’kma’ki\, of “the relationship between where one is and what one thinks”. In their article\, Longboat and Sheridan write that “Old growth minds…build an ecology of mind that stands in the middle of the  temporal arc to see future and past synchronically in equal bending horizons.” Contemplating the rhythms and cycles of the living earth through our work\, the histories of this place and its possible futures\, we take the first steps along a path to Becoming Old Growth—shifting away from disconnection and placelessness towards “recovering the necessary relationship between healthy ecologies of land and human minds.” \n \nLeft: Susanne Chui (Photo credit: Béatrice Schuler-Mojon)\nCentre: Erin Donovan (Photo credit: Courtney Mac Photography)\nRight: Basma Kavanagh (Photo credit: James Arthur MacLean) \nSocial Media Tags:\n@BOG_collective\n@chui.susanne\n@hearhereproductions\n@basma.kavanagh \n

SUMMARY:African Dance Workshop with Aly Keita
DESCRIPTION:With Aly Keita\nPresented in partnership with Kinetic\n \nThursday\, May 4th @ 6:30pm \nLocation: House of Eights Dance Studio – Studio 1 (5562 Sackville St\, Suite 305) \nDuration: 1 hour \nRegistration: PWYC / By donation \nREGISTER HERE\n \nDuring the workshop\, participants of all genders will discover a festive dance traditional to Guinea and typical of Mandingo culture called Doundounba\, or the “Dance of the Strong Men.” \nDoundounba is a symbolic battle between different Baratis\, who assume responsibility for all ritual events. In Doundounba ceremonies\, contenders display their strength and skills to the public to secure their place in society. \nDoundounba is a gruelling dance\, but with over 30 different rhythmic variations\, everyone can dance to its beat! The doundoun is a traditional drum typical of the Mandingo Empire. \nAccompanied by the djembe\, the doundoun has a deep and low sound. It is the heart of African dance and provides the foundational beat in many different rhythms. In these dances\, performers internalize the doundoun’s rhythm to stay on beat. \n\nAtelier de danse africaine\nLes participant·e·s seront amené·e·s à la découverte de la « danse des hommes forts »\, le Doundounba\, une danse festive traditionnelle de Guinée\, typique de la culture mandingue. \nLe doundounba est un combat symbolique entre différents « Baratis »\, responsables de tous les événements rituels. Les candidats à ce rang montrent leur force et leurs capacités au public pour s’assurer une place dans la société. \nLe doundounba est une danse éprouvante\, mais il n’y a pas d’inquiétudes à avoir car il existe environ 30 variations rythmiques dans cette danse\, pour que les femmes\, les aînés et les enfants puissent aussi danser sur ses notes! \nLe doundoun fait partie d’un ensemble de tambours traditionnels\, typiques de l’Empire du Mandingue. Accompagné par le djembé\, le doundoun a un son grave et profond. Il est le cœur de la danse africaine et sert de base de nombreux rythmes. Dans la danse africaine\, le danseur intériorise le rythme du doundoun qui est pour lui un point de repère pour rester dans le rythme et respecter le temps.

SUMMARY:Standing With Water
DESCRIPTION:Standing with Water is a tribute to two bodies of water on opposite sides of the Atlantic Ocean – the Songor Lagoon in Ada\, Ghana\, and the Shubenacadie River here in Nova Scotia. \nThis suite of dance pieces brings the two bodies of water and the issues that surround them into dialogue\, exploring questions of ancestral relationship\, responsibility\, teachings\, and the sacred.

Standing with Water is an ode to what was\, and to what could be. \nChoreographed by Liliona Quarmyne and featuring dancers Susan Barratt\, Kathleen Doherty\, Kara Friesen\, Denise John\, and Liliona Quarmyne. \n\nStanding With Water is presented by the Canadian Union of Public Employees – Nova Scotia \n \nWith support from the Nova Scotia Public Interest Research Group
