Can you talk about your creative process? What inspires you?
Human nature is of interest and inspiring to me – our sense of curiousity, inquisitiveness, and resilience. I have never formalized the steps or components that make up creative process in rehearsal, but I do usually have a specific idea and it informs the process and progress. That said, the dancers whom I work are an important inspiration and aspect of my process. We have collaborative process. I find that I allow ‘things’ to happen. Working with restrictions and limitations has always been a constant in my works.
Please share your experience performing in a previous DanceWeekend and/or tell us what you are looking forward to at DanceWeekend’19?
It’s such a privilege to be able to share our work with the DanceWeekend audiences who are always so open to diversity of styles in dance.
What is one surprising or interesting fact about your company/collective/school?
I never meant to name this company tiger princess dance projects – I needed a name. Myles Warren, who was the ED of Dance Umbrella of Ontario helped me.
Do you have any up-coming performances/events you would like to share?
We have a few residencies happening in 2019, but they are in Quebec. Our activities in Ontario for the next while are focused on our arts education programmes: Moving Stories is a programme for Intergenerational participants and Swallowing Clouds is a youth programme that has been running in several branched of the Toronto Library for several years. Check out our website as we have a lot of activities across Toronto in March. www.princessproductions.ca
