We are pleased to announce the final gala performance of finished contemporary dance works from the W.I.P. Series 2004 at the Refinery Arts and Spirit Centre, 609 Dufferin Ave, Saskatoon.

This series, now in its second year, is designed to provide a venue for both emerging and professional choreographers who create work in the area of contemporary and experimental choreography and is open to all artists working in this vein in both the province of Saskatchewan and across Canada. The previous showings presented a total of 9 different innovative choreographers from Saskatchewan and British Columbia.

The audiences had a chance to meet the choreographers and hear them speak about their work. Each choreographer asked the audience for certain types of feedback that they felt would be instrumental to helping them further develop their work. This written audience feedback was collected at the end of the performances and distributed to the choreographers.

The Gala performance will feature several of the choreographers who have previously presented works in progress during the past showings at the DSI Centre. The artists have continued to develop their work into finished dance pieces, thanks in part to the feedback and support they received through the W.I.P. Series. Featured Choreographers include: Tanya Dahms and Paula Skotnitsky of Regina and Sarah Nolan-Downs and Jackie Latendresse of Saskatoon.

It will be a real treat for returning audiences to see how far the dance works have come and also promises to be a top notch professional show for all fans of dance!

The W.I.P. is a first of its kind in Saskatchewan and is fast becoming a staple in Saskatchewan’s Dance Diet! So everybody get W.I.P.ed! If you would like to help out by volunteering for the series please contact us at 665-5998 or by email at freeflowdance@hotmail.com
