SplitScreen is a supercharged evening of four dances that each present two distinct but synchronous lines of action.

Featuring five of the most extraordinary dancers on the Toronto scene—Peggy Baker, Ric Brown, Sarah Fregeau, Kate Holden, and David Norsworthy—the program includes the sumptuous solo from locus plot; Yang, simultaneous and hyper-athletic solos for two men; Split Screen Stereophonic, a high-intensity double duet that contrasts the dynamics and tensions of two couples; and epilogue, a meditation on absence and loss performed by Peggy Baker and Philadelphia-based guitarist Tim Motzer.

With Dora Award-winning lighting from Montreal’s Marc Parent, as well as music from the trans-Atlantic electronica chamber duo Knuckleduster and Belgium’s Thierry De Mey, SplitScreen is a visual and sonic tour-de-force from one of Canada’s most inventive and celebrated dance artists.

Following the performance audience members can enjoy live music in the gallery by Tim Motzer and a succession of duet partners drawn from some of Toronto’s most acclaimed players including Rich Brown, Joshua Van Tassel, Debashis Sinha, Fides Krucker and Robin Buckley.
