Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 3/7/2019 (378 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Sometimes dark, sometimes manic, Jolene Bailie’s Schemas, 1-5 is at all times a beautiful spectacle of movement. Bailie, the artistic director of Winnipeg’s Contemporary Dancers, is a regular fixture at the fringe with her dance company Gearshifting Performance Works.
Schemas is an hour-long performance broken into five dances which deal with themes of relationships, behaviour patterns, power and perspective. Each scene builds and borrows from the last with repeated movements and props which create a sense of continuity throughout the show. The music and background sound add to the storytelling but can be overwhelmingly loud at times.
Dancers Carol-Ann Bohrn, Helene Le Moullec Mancini, Shawn MacLaine, Warren McClelland, Aaron Paul, Sam Penner and Camila Schujman are all local professionals and graduates of the School of Contemporary Dance. The athleticism and connection shared between them is something to behold.
