60X60 DANCE CANADA is a project containing 60 solo choreographies to 60 electroacoustic pieces by 60 Canadian composers, each piece 60 seconds or less in duration. The pieces are sequenced together without pause to form an exactly one hour long performance. The sound will be projected in multichannel through 8 loudspeakers, and the dance and music will be accompanied by live video projection of an analog clock, spectrographic images, and dance footage. Following a preview at Les Journées de la culture, this event is the Canadian debut of 60x60 Dance, organized by Eldad Tsabary, Violaine Morinville, Tim Sutton, and Rob Voisey. Through this inter-artistic hour-long collaborative creation, 60x60 seeks to support and highlight the contemporary art community. This show is presented in collaboration with Rosemary & Harry Mountain's Interactive Multimedia Playroom and the Canadian Electroacoustic Community (CEC).
