Propeller Dance is Drifting Up
Ottawa-based Propeller Dance, a company that specializes in integrated dance and inclusive training, has been featured by The Dance Current both in print and online – an online review of the company’s show Aqueous was chosen to be included in the July/August 2014 photo essay, Pictures from an Exhibition: A Season in Reviews. Aqueous is a production made up of four shorter works. Above are excerpts of Drifting Up choreographed by co-founder and co-artistic director Renata Soutter, in which dancers with mixed abilities flow through each other and across the stage, using wheelchairs not only out of necessity, but as props that support the choreography.
