Ottawa. While stll at univer-

long-time interest in theatre;
it was the physical side, the
movement classes that hook-
ed him.

He received a Bachelor of
Fine Arts in dance from York
University and also trained in
New York and Toronto. He
joined the Toronto Dance
Theatre in 1979 and _ since
then a dozen roles have been
created for him. He was soon
singled out to choreograph
his own creations and has
since created nine pieces

TORONTO Dance Theatre, the modern dance company. visiting the East Cultural Centre for a three-night engagement, has
been described as ‘dazzling’, ‘vibrant’, and a ‘knockout’. Above, left to right, dancers Grace Miyagawa, Christopher House,

and Karen DuPlessis. Above left, Christopher House again, who is also the resident choreographer for the theatre group.

ception over 80 works have
been created. Content has
ranged from dramatic to
abstract, from the music of
J.S. Bach to Steve Reich; Ray
Charles to original, commis-
sioned, Canadian scores.
According to current Ar-
tistic Director Kenny Pearl,
the dance company em-
phasizes physical and
technical elements rather
than psychological. It is not a
repertory company and
doesn’t try to convey a
message. It is dance for the
yoy of dance, very kinetic. It
is dance that Is sensitive to
music, inventive, absorbing.
The Toronto Dance
Theatre plays for three nights
only on October 16, 17 and
18, at 8:30 p.m., at the Van-
