Turning Point Ensemble &
SFU Contemporary Arts
present
IMPRINT
The three extraordinary premieres by some of Canada's top artists are on the
program for this spectacular event. There are only five performances of this
must-see event where music, dance, theatre and technology meet in Vancouver's
newest theatre in the heart of downtown.
One of Canada's most original voices, Rudolf Komorous has composed Minx for
the Turning Point Ensemble, one of the
few major new works he has written in the last several years. Komorous,
now in his late seventies, is one of Canada's unheralded treasures making this
an extraordinary event.
The premiere of Cut Flowers* by Linda Catlin Smith, one of Canada's most poetic
composers. She has composed a work for soprano Phoebe MacRae and the Ensemble
based on the secret love poems of Elizabeth Barrett Browning - the Sonnets
of the Portuguese. The work will be brought to life in a simple semi-staged
performance directed by Penelope Stella.
The premiere of Imprint by composer Owen Underhill and choreographer Henry
Daniel closes the evening. Imprint is a daring, site-specific interdisciplinary
performance piece for 8 dancers, the Turning Point Ensemble, and telepresence
technology.
Showtimes: June 17 - 20 @ 8pm, 2pm Matinee on Saturday, June 19
Turning Point's presentation of Cut Flowers is part of the artsong festival
called Songfire Festival of Song. Our participation is Imprint, our June show,
which includes a work by Linda Catlin Smith with text inspired by Browning.
