New Chance & Rowan-Muriel - [excerpt]
The coexisDance series, which has been bringing together improvisers from Toronto's music and dance scenes for more than a decade, seems to have been thriving lately. Settled into Cabbagetown's CCDT, there's a proper floor and room to set up a large illuminated circle for the performances, musicians strewn around the perimemter and getting a chance to improvise with two different dance artists over the course of the evening. Raphael Roter has brought curatorial energy to the series, with a passion for bridging two vibrant communities that might not rub elbows enough. [Do note that these field recordings are, by necessity, "incomplete" without the dancers' physicality, but I think it's worth preserving this work from some excellent players in the community.]
A bit of a throwback here, with Vic Cheong bringing out the trusty ol' DL4 to create some etherial vocal loops.
[New Chance will be guest-hosting Karen Ng's Tranzac residency on Thursday (March 26th) presenting the intruigingly-titled "Kate Nankervis and Vic Cheong Create a Breathable Space" alongside a performance from guest Nifty.]
