Dancetheatre David Earle (DtDE) will co-present a screening of Vaughn Barclay’s documentary, Heart at Night: David Earle in Guelph.
Framed within the DtDE Studio during the DtDE 2009 Summer Intensive, and through out 2010, the 53-minute documentary film is interwoven with performance and rehearsal footage. It offers insight into Earle’s work as an as artist, teacher and mentor, during the company’s first decade in Guelph.
Earle’s distinguished dance career spanned 47 years, in which he has created more than 150 dance works, earning many honours including the Order of Canada, an Honourary Doctorate of Laws from Queen’s University, the Clifford E. Lee Award from the Banff Centre, the Dora Mavor Moore Award, and the 2011 Ontario Premier’s Award for Excellence in the Arts. In 2012, he received the Queen’s Jubilee Medal.
The Bookshelf screening celebrates the launch of DtDE’s Portraits, Mirrors and Windows, a two-year collaborative, multi-media project which will engage the legacy of Earle’s work as a bridge of learning between a new generation of dancers and a distinguished roster of senior artists who have shared in the creation and performance of his repertoire.
Portraits, Mirrors, and Windows will evolve as a series of creation, teaching and performance cycles, culminating in a full-evening performance in September 2014, in celebration of Earle’s 75th birthday.
Heart at Night: David Earle in Guelph was screened at the 2012 Local Focus Festival, winning the documentary award.
The Guelph screening will take place at Bookshelf Cinema, located at 41 Quebec Street, on Jan. 26, at 4pm.
All tickets are $10.00, with a reception to take place in the e-bar afterward. All are welcome.
