Residency Showing

Every year Dancemakers gives our space to an artist to reside for a week. A chance to work in the space with production elements, the residencies are part of our desire to help.

This year we invited Jenn Goodwin into the space to work on her new show, Accidents for Every Occasion

And every year we invite you, and people you might bring, to join us for a studio showing and discussion surrounding the work with Jenn, Michael Trent and Jacob Zimmer. And you.

Accidents for Every Occasion is Jenn Goodwin's heartfelt and playful exploration of the consequences of our daily mishaps in all their beauty, barbarity and banality. Cross a street three seconds later and avoid being hit by a bus. A typo completely changes your identity. Turn to the left at a crowded party and you miss meeting the love of your life. With humour, beauty and edgy, restless movement, Goodwin creates work that is immediately relevant and highly accessible.

"Pulled together by intelligence and humour... [Goodwin's work] confounds expectations about what modern dance is."
(Rebecca Todd, EYE Weekly)

"Her choreographic penchant seems to be the expression of real-life concerns, and thus, her use of pedestrian physicality and commonplace gestures is the perfect vehicle to convey her message...[with] both pathos and humour. "
(Paula Citron, The Globe & Mail)
