Live Art Dance’s 2011/2012 season looks totally boss
[image-1] Live Art Dance Productions announced their 2011/2012 season this morning, and it looks like a doozy. The season kicks off September 29 at the Sir James Dunn Theatre with Trial & Eros’ Four Quartets. This Montreal company presents a performance inspired by the poetry of TS Eliot. Take your English major friend to this. The season continues with shows from BJM Danse (also from Montreal) with Locked Up Laura, Zip Zap Zoom and Rossini Cards. This trio of works promises to be “humorous… 100% intoxicating” In November, Toronto’s Coleman Lemieux & Compagnie present another program in three, In Paradisum.
