A Successful New Legacy Launch for MOVE: the company and the Chutzpah! Festival

February, 2010

MOVE: the company provided an exciting opening to Vancouver's 2010 Chutzpah! Festival on February 4th with the inaugural performance of The Legacy Repertory Project. The brainchild of Andrea Gunnlaugson , this wonderful new initiative's mandate is to bring BC contemporary dance choreography unseen for at least 10 years to the current generation of dance artists.

Featuring three of BC's most beloved choreographers of days gone by - Harvey Meller, Cornelius Fischer-Credo and Olivia Thorvaldson - the program also included a world premiere by Josh Beamish entitled "Tools for Cutting".

Performances on February 4th and 8th were held at the Norman Rothstein Theatre in Vancouver, BC, and featured company dancers Kevin Tookey, Mack Green, Matt Waldie, Josh Beamish, Heather Dotto, Erica Trivett, Jacqui Lopez, Angel Jutzi, Jeannie Vandekerkhove and apprentice Lexi Vajda.

Opening night also featured a delightful post-show reception for all in attendance and provided a great opportunity for audience, choreographers and performers to mingle.
