Way back in 2002 a bunch of guys got together and decided to do something a little different, something rash, bold and dangerous, something to test their might and prove their mettle. It was the perilous world of Contemporary Dance that called to them and through PND's Emergency Festival of new performance they showed us all that they had the right stuff and some pretty good moves.
Now with seven years of experience tucked into their danceskins they're even older and certainly wiser, but are they ready to take on the next challenge? Are they prepared to work with four of Canada's leading contemporary dance choreographers? Bill James, artistic director of Atlas Moves Watching thinks so and invited choreographers Marie-Josée Chartier, Allen Kaeja, and D. A. Hoskins to join him to create four original new works with the men. The results will be seen in Wiser and Still Gorgeous (Do Not Resuscitate).
