Dance Ontario Creative Partnerships for 2015 DanceWeekend — Dance Ontario’s Selection Committee is delighted to announce that choreographers Hanna Kiel and Courtnae Bowman have been chosen for the 2014 Creative Partnerships Pro-gram. These unique artists will bring two exciting world premieres to the Fleck Dance Theatre stage in January as part of Dance Ontario DanceWeekend 2015. 2014 Dora Mavor Moore nominee for Outstanding Choreography Hanna Kiel will be creating Ugly Hero, a 15 minute section of a full evening work to be presented in the fall of 2015 entitled Armband. Performed by Erin Poole, Daniel McArthur and Kate Holden, this highly physical piece will explore the effects of power, authority and evil while delivering a strong emotional impact on audiences. Cadence Ballet’s Artistic Director Courtnae Bowman will work with a large group of dancers who symbolize the collective consciousness moving as one human race. Inspired by Bach’s Concerto in D Minor, each individual’s story will be reflected in the music’s movements and by the unique quality and vocabulary of each dancer. Bowman is interested in exposing the pointe shoe in new ways, utilizing its brilliant engineering to ex-plore unique movements and experimenting with ways it can be stripped of its more con-ventional uses.

members Congratulations to the Canadian Dance Assembly's Kate Cornell who welcomed Elanor, a sister for Eowyn, last May. Our best wishes to the happy family. Ariel Len of Zoey's Projects was selected to perform at Toronto's first ever Nuit Rose - a World Pride Event! She performed her Reclaimed Drag/Dance/Performance Art Tribute pieces, in honour of Ellen DeGeneres and Marilyn Monroe, at various venues, and neighbourhoods, throughout the evening until midnight. The Board of Dancemakers announced that it will not be extending Michael Trent’s term as Artistic Director beyond July 31, 2014. The board has decided to accelerate the implementation of the company’s exciting new direction - the Incubation Production House model – by replacing the role of Artistic Director with the role of curator sooner than planned. The Board wishes to thank Trent for his eight-year tenure, which has been marked by defining moments in the life of the company. The Board of Directors of Harbourfront Centre today announced the appointment of Marah Braye as the incoming Chief Executive Officer of Harbourfront Centre. Ms. Braye is currently the Chief Executive Officer of the Biennale of Syd-ney in Sydney, Australia and has an extensive background in arts and cultural management. She will assume the position from the founding Chief Executive Officer of Harbourfront Centre William J.S. Boyle who announced his plans to retire in August 2013. The Dance Current has announced the appointment of Kate Morris to the position of Editor. Morris is a Toronto-based editor, writer and researcher. She has worked as an editor at the Art Gallery of Ontario, Legislative Assembly of the Northwest Territories and Nelson Education. She holds a Master’s degree in English from the University of Glasgow and has recently submitted her doctoral thesis at the Univer-sity of Oxford.
