Two days ago we received some very exciting news! Our show, Head First at the Toronto fringe, won Patrons Pick, which gives us an extra show this Sunday at 6:45pm...
and we also won Best of The Fringe! That means CanStage will be producing our show at the Berkley st. Theater July 23, 24 & 25! We are so excited! You can get ticket information for that show at canstage.com
Head First is the first full length production for Femmes du Feu and will be presented at the London, Toronto and Hamilton Fringe Festivals this summer!
Head First has 2 aerial dance pieces, Impossibility and Dive, and a third short guest appearance by Maria Flavia Litwin in a fiery flamenco dance.
The themes of this project come from a place of self-reflection and prediction. Head First reflects pop culture from this decade, inspired by fashion media and the aesthetic of our generation.
Choreographed and performed by Sabrina Pringle and Holly Treddenick, Impossibility uses loops of bungee cord with dance to investigate the dreams of two people whose interpretations both parallel and contrast. Impossibility has a theatrical edge with larger than life emotions, facial expressions and physicality.
Choreographed by Sabrina Pringle, and performed by Andrea Ciacci, Lara Ebata, Natalie Fullerton, Jamie Holmes, Sabrina Pringle, Holly Treddenick, Dive uses aerial silks with dance to reflect the different stages of a womans life and questions what her future may hold. Dive was presented in Women In Dance at the Young Centre for the Performing Arts (2008). Compelling and touching, Dive propels the audience through the influences that deliver these women to be strong and ambitious.
Bare knuckle, death defying aerial dance with a hefty dose of indie rock. A show that never manages to settle in one spot long enough to slap a label on it. Using bungee, and aerial silks Head First reflects our generation and draws from the baggage weve collected throughout our lives. With sexy physicality, a hint of flamenco and a precise balance of risk and control, this all female cast spins the audience on a whirlwind tour through dream and memory, darkness and light.
