In this new film, Alias Dance Project wanted to capture how connected the Toronto company is. Shot by Janelle Carpenter and featuring dancers Caitlin Amodeo, Francesca Chudnoff, Lauren Cook, Amanda Davis, Nigel Edwards and Catherine Turcotte, it asks, “What’s next? What’s around the corner?”
“The beautiful thing about Alias Dance Project is that each one of us is always hungry to create and take risks with our art,” said Chudnoff. “Whether it’s in the studio training and exchanging energy with one another or taking a field trip to an epic location and shooting a film guerrilla-style, we want to keep the fire burning.”
