TUNING
“Tuning” (56 mins) is a duet commissioned by Alexis Fletcher created and directed by Vanessa Goodman featuring dance artists Alexis Fletcher and Ted Littlemore. This new work focuses on how we tune to one another. In “Tuning” the performers create a live sonic and physical atmosphere using their voices to amplify the conversations of the body. “Tuning” was created with generous support from The Canada Council for the Arts, Shadbolt Arts Centre, Dancing on the Edge Festival and Action at a Distance
Created by: Vanessa Goodman in collaboration with the performing artists.
Performing Artists: Ted Littlemore and Alexis Fletcher
Lighting Designer: James Proudfoot
“THERE’S A MESMERIZING moment in choreographer Vanessa Goodman’s new Tuning when ethereal vocalizations echo into the space, dancers Ted Littlemore and Alexis Fletcher circling in an embrace at centre stage.
It’s a moving sequence where time stands still. And it’s a perfect example of the piece’s intimacy and connection, fuelled by the simple power of the human voice—of two people perfectly tuned into each other.”
