Jil Guyon’s Rouyn Noranda features a lone woman drifting through a bleak industrial wasteland. The desolation of her interior world is both reflected in and witnessed by the toxic environmental terrain she is compelled to traverse. Eschewing traditional narrative progression, the film follows the protagonist’s actions through a series of languorous panoramas, fixed shots, and close-ups—evoking a world equally beautiful and terrifying.

in due time aims to explore the inner voice, how it is formed, and how it then shapes our intentions, and desires, in turn molding our individual natures both internally and externally. Alexander Diaz writes: “I’ve created “in due time” to better understand patterns I’ve adopted as well as belief systems I’ve inherently used as scaffolding to protect myself from myself.” Diaz is a 2023 Black Artist Space to Create Resident Artist.

In translation, trust and treachery coexist; sharing may become subterfuge. A dark, dreamlike flow of stark, disparate images and collapsing shapes, Ayano Elson’s Good Boy reveals the distinct vocabularies and systems of choreography encountered in translation. Learn more →
evan ray suzuki, in collaboration with film and video artist Frenchie Cavallo Phelps, present NEW WORK. This work in development presents a detailed exploration of butoh performance and experimental video in tandem. The work is inherently more sculptural than symbolic, and seeks an aesthetic of pixelation and artifice in response to the artists’ questions about inherited memory and mythology in the postinternet world.

In Alex Romania’s Mold Session 888 : Face Eaters 2.0 3000, existential molecules query at profound mourning as the room sings, bodies vibrate in transcendent dissolution. As we are somehow here and nowhere, we embrace a proposition for performance where, with everything we’ve gone through, we need to do little more than be. Learn more →
Stacy Lynn Smith‘s research platform, Psychic Wormhole, reckons with the devastations of trauma and its relationship to memory and the body, ultimately centering the body as memory-keeper and radical creator. Learn more →

Barbara Kaneratonni Diabo presents Smudge (Cinédanse film). Smudge [definition] “A practice used by many Indigenous people involving the burning of medicine plants and immersing oneself in the smoke. It is used to cleanse, bring good energy, dispel the negative, connect with ancestors and the Earth.” Two generations—the past and future. The strength of tradition, the isolation of the contemporary world. Joined by blood, joined by Earth. The film asks: Can this connection overcome the emptiness? Learn more →
K.J. Holmes will perform an excerpt of her dance/theater/installation entitled 900 Bees are Humming. The work was researched when she was an NDA Resident Artist in Spring 2022. It is a work that enters an interior of the body as a landscape within, surrounded by an ecology of time, weight, and space. Holmes was a 2021–22 LiftOff Resident Artist. Learn more →

In They Dance With Their Heads (Cinédanse film), the severed head of a choreographer is held captive by an eagle on a desert island. With a dazzling mastery of drawing and painting, this animated short unexpectedly takes us into the sensitive world of an artist madly in love with dance. The film was developed from a series of workshops with dancers in Montréal. Describing the process, Thomas Corriveau said that he wanted the energy of the colored lines to fully participate in the emergence of a strong and sensitive bodily presence for the interpretations.

About their new work, Preview, Maxi Hawkeye Canion writes: “Finally, see me at my worst, as bubblegum chewed for too long…a gorgeous color. I vehemently wonder how the body can be a safe house, a home, and simultaneously the cruelest extension of hope. Sometimes shit is just bleak.” Canion is a 2022–23 LiftOff Resident Artist.

Rebecca Patek and Connor Voss’s performance will explore the meeting point of matter and spirit within the human mind/body. They write: “Dance as the most useless and therefore highest form of all the arts is uniquely positioned to be the medium for discovery.” Learn more →
