The Changeover

An exploration of the changeover between bands at a concert is a potent place of choreographic and spiritual playground. It represents an opportunity to look at change, transition, transformation, and the small yet special moments in our lives through the lens of a rock show; an event we attend to be entertained by music, performance, lighting and collectivity. The changeover is usually the time to talk, get a drink, go to the washroom, etc. At the very moment we are encouraged to look away, The Changeover shines a light. Part performance, part band practice, part installation, part sound score, part meditation, The Changeover is an homage to the in-between. A call to pay attention. The Finishing stream will allow this long-held big idea to be seen through to fruition.

Jenn Goodwin is a Tkaronto/Toronto based dance artist, curator and programmer. Her work and collaborations often explore the play, power, and politics of the body in motion, the feminization of space, women’s presence, absence, and resilience, and the choreographic of the everyday.
