Specifically Mathieu Beausejour‘s Le soleil invincible at Antoine Ertaskiran (where Chris ‘Zeke’ Hand points out that M. Beausejour pretty much copied Jürgen Mayer-Hermann). The multiple Serge Lemoyne exhibits at Lacerte, Yves Laroche and Loto Quebec. In passing, Zeke laments the prices of contemporary Quebecois art in comparison to other contemporary art.

Zeke and Eloi then talk about the Marcel Barbeau exhibit at Galerie Lounge TD in the Maison Rio Tinto Alcan above L’Astral, Winnie Truong and Max Wyse at Galerie Trois Points, Karen Trask and Andréanne Godin at Circa, then mention how they had a similar talk in French on the radio show Un Show de Mot’Arts.

Les Ballets Jazz de Montréal 40th Anniversary Program. Fuel, Closer and Harry.

Howdy!

This audio business isn’t as easy as falling out of bed… I initially recorded this piece about the performance of Les Ballets Jazz de Montréal that I saw somewhere at the very beginning of October. And here it is, the beginning of November and I’m finally able to post it. Go Figure!

The other review that I reference is this one, from Rover by someone named Cerys Wilson. There are also reviews from Dfdanse and Dance News Montreal. If you’d like to hear Fuel by Julia Wolfe click on this link. If you’d like to hear Mad Rush by Philip Glass, click on this link. Unfortunately I do not have the playlist for Harry.

The Ballets Jazz de Montreal’s calendar is here. (From my quick scan, they were last here in January 2011 and I don’t know when before that as it doesn’t go further back than 2008. Their blurbs on Fuel and Harry are here and here. It appears that whomever is responsible for their website doesn’t consider Closer as being in their repertoire.

I initially wanted to list off all the dancer’s names (for what would the performance be without the dancers?) But for the most part, they don’t have individual websites and I no longer have my list of who danced in what. So I’m going to have to settle for a simple list copy/pasted from Les Ballets Jazz de Montréal’s website. Antonios Bougiouris, Morgane Le Tiec, Céline Cassone, Alexander Hille, Christina Bodie, James Gregg, Kevin Delaney, Christian Denice, Youri De Wilde, Alyssa Desmarais, Brett Taylor, Alexandra Gherchman, Andie Masazza. They all were very good. (But what I don’t understand is how they can all simultaneously also be former dancers from Les Ballets Jazz de Montréal. It doesn’tmake sense to me at all).

And lastly the background music during my piece is from Jazz Friends 2012
