It comes from within, and what you make of it. Particularly in the 1990s, there was quite a lot of experimentation with contemporary dance performance, particularly sprouting from smaller collectives finding odd venues and spaces to push the boundaries of formalism, and to question the contemporary dance box that we found ourselves in after our formal training. Having said that, we had excellent teachers who sent us out with creative juices pulsing. I see Edmonton now as having returned somewhat to a more formalistic influence, and find myself craving more innovation. It will be interesting to see where we go from here. There is hope and support, if you choose it, for wherever we are in space and time. That's what has always made Edmonton's dance community a great one.Katrina Smyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11385648774934431450noreply@blogger.com
