“I was moved to the core and knew with certainty that I had witnessed an historic moment in solo contemporary dance. The unique signature of her artistry hit me with all the power of Marie Chouinard or Susannah Linke in their own unforgettable solo concerts. Waltz - Slaughterhouse/Requiem reaches a kind of perfection as a program, not because the works are virtuosic and sexy (though they are that), but because they reveal the authentic, heroic and fragile gifts of both creators... I hope that the program can be seen across Canada and around the world.”
“There is deep meaning… great courage and melancholy here. Expansive movement, immense sounds and carefully crafted, elaborate scenic design makes the scale seem larger than life. This “bigness” has a layer of complexity.”
“Slaughterhouse/Requiem” was highly original and impressive, and is one of my highlights of the year in dance... it was “Slaughterhouse/Requiem” that invited us in, with a vivid and creative staging of some of her journey thus far.”
“DO NOT MISS THIS PERFORMANCE…It will move you to the core!”
*New Work by Kayla Farrish was researched and developed in partnership with McGuire with support from Gibney’s Solo for Solo program in the Rising Up! 2021- 2022 Season. This commission included financial, showing, and residency support.
