SUMMARY:SKATEPARK
DESCRIPTION:Hijinks on deck!\nThe theatre stage is transformed into a skatepark\, a multifaceted setting where freedom expresses itself through tricks of the parkour\, choreographic flow\, and countercultural high jinks. In this ode to the nostalgia of her youth\, Danish choreographer Mette Ingvartsen explores the speed\, power\, and energy of movement on wheels\, and the music celebrating skater culture’s inclusivity. SKATEPARK’s punks are out for a good time\, with no shortage of gravity-testing jumps and tricks\, parabolas\, and ‘eights’. \nMette Ingvartsen approaches choreography as a “permeable” practice\, one that is fluid\, porous and open to the world. In her research\, she homed in on reframing the smaller movements that surround the practice of skateboarding to define her choreographic language\, and created the work through knowledge sharing in close connection with the skater community in Brussels where she is based. \nOn stage\, a motley crew of Ottawa’s local skaters join with professional dancers\, skateboarders and roller skaters from across generations in a shared space where perseverance\, experimentation and healthy rivalry contribute to a unique sense of community. \nDid you know?\nWhen skateboarding took off in the early to mid 1960s\, Canada adopted the term “skurfboard” to refer to an 18-inch board with roller skate wheels.\nThere are 195 skateparks in Canada\, with 45% of them in British Columbia (source: skatepark.ca 2019). \nFun Fact\nThe prelude to SKATEPARK will be performed by members of Ottawa’s skate community. Arrive early to witness their tricks! \nPost-show chat\nFollowing the presentation of SKATEPARK on Thursday\, November 6\, we invite the audience to stay in the Theatre for a post-show chat with the artists
