Susanna Hood & Scott Thomson – The Muted Note

The Muted Note is a suite of songs composed by Scott Thomson, settings of poems by P.K. Page, for Susanna Hood’s singing voice. As a duo, Susanna, in addition to singing the lyrics, improvises on the songs both vocally and in dance, a synthesis for which she is singularly acclaimed in Canada. Scott, on trombone, both underpins Susanna and solos on the songs in a wide-ranging style that reflects his broad experience as an improviser. Throughout, P.K. Page’s stellar poems are at the core of the work and, in both dance and music, Scott and Susanna seek to animate and activate the verse as they play. Their extensive Canadian tour this autumn will help to promote their new duo disc on &records.

Joe Ink – Left

Left is one of choreographer Joe Laughlin’s most enduring and popular works. Is it one mans contemplation of his relationship to the world or is it just a tempest in a teacup?

Sarah Joy Stoker – the worth of

Ecology, economy, physiological and spiritual connections to our environments, grief and mourning. “Only by re-contacting the full reach and education potential of our kinesthetic intelligence will we have any hope of finding a balanced relationship with the larger systems of the world around us…” Thomas Berry
