RUBBERBANDance!
Live
Art Dance Productions presents the Halifax premiere of Gravity of Centre by
RUBBERBANDance, one of Canada’s most groundbreaking dance groups. Fusing hip
hop with the refinement of classical dance, choreographer Victor Quijada
presents a ferocious choreography that will make this Holiday Season anything
but dull!
Gravity
of Centre is the eighth creation of RUBBERBANDance created by choreographer
Victor Quijada. It features an original score and stunning aesthetic design
that mirror the fluidity of the dancers’ movements. Five dancers offer the
audience a raw experience with dynamic rhythms and physical prowess.
Founded
in 2002, RUBBERBANDance is now at the forefront of Montreal’s contemporary
dance community and is recognized internationally for its new and unique vision
of contemporary dance theatre. RBDB has created and presented nine dance works
and four short films to date, including Hasta La Proxima, a finalist in the
short film category at the American Choreography Awards. The company has taken
part in a large number of events in collaboration with other artists (galas,
special events, video clips, demos, etc.) The group has presented throughout
Canada, and has represented Canadian artistic innovation in the United States,
Europe, the UK, and Japan.
Currently
celebrating its 30th Anniversary Season, Live Art Dance Productions is
committed to introducing audiences to the work, concerns and aesthetics of
Canadian and international contemporary dance by presenting dance and performance
art projects that push the boundaries of current creative practice. Live Art
has initiated dance outreach, audience development and professional training

scene.
