Works by Justin Peck, Carmen Romero and Robert Binet
Hear the dance is a programme that explores the inner world of dancers, with immersive soundscapes in works by Justin Peck, Carmen Romero and Robert Binet, with Devon Healey.
Program
Joyfully opening with a sneaker ballet, plunging you into the high emotions of flamenco, and delivering you to a world reimagined, HEAR THE DANCE is a fully sensory dance experience. Performed by a cast of emerging professional dance artists from Canada’s National Ballet School and recent graduates of Toronto Metropolitan University – a first time partnership for these two preeminent dance training institutions, flamenco star Carmen Romero, and an FFDN exclusive collection of ballet dancers from around the world.
The soundscapes of HEAR THE DANCE are created with live accompaniment by international fellows of The Royal Conservatory’s Glenn Gould School, the recorded voices of Caroline Shaw’s Pulitzer Prize-winning a capella composition, the music of Max Richter, the immersive descriptive audio of Devon Healey and the sounds of bodies in motion.
