Peterborough New Dance presents Out of Bounds
4 dances, 2 women, 1 great show.

Two compelling dancers, Nova Bhattacharya and Jenn Goodwin, combine their extreme differences and explosive energies in Out of Bounds. The program presents four pieces including two stunning new duets:
· The End created by Dana Gingras, co-founder of The Holy Body Tattoo
· Gold Moon from Tokyo's modern dance doyenne Mika Kurosawa
· The Falling, Goodwin's 2004 solo
· Calm Abiding, this year's hit from The Canada Dance Festival, a powerful and potent new solo created for Bhattacharya by Montreal's José Navas

Illuminated by the visionary Marc Parent, the electrifying Out of Bounds is sure to confound expectations of what contemporary dance is.

Springing from dialogue and gestures from horror and suspense films, The End attempts to understand what is revealed and what is hidden. Gold Moon (premiering at the Tokyo Dance Selection Festival on October 14, 2006) is a work of elegant simplicity in which the dancers overlap each other in a contained world of endless possibilities as if they would cease to exist without the other’s reflection. Goodwin's solo The Falling explores living to extremes - and sometimes close to death - in search of a greater sense of life and living. And Bhattacharya’s solo Calm Abiding by choreographer José Navas daringly combines high emotion with the formalism of dance.

"Calm Abiding uses Bhattacharya's bharatanatyam training to create a stunning work that puts a modern edge on an ancient South Asian dance form… The piece becomes a sort of trance, which the powerful Bhattacharya exudes like a guru." - Paula Citron, the Globe & Mail

"Goodwin is a new talent to watch." - The Hour
