ALONIA
Alonia is a contemporary dance choreography composed by Manuel Roque during his residency at the Ecole de Danse Contemporaine de Montréal (EDCM).
About the Choreography:
Alonia is an invented word and acts as a celebration of a creative endeavour forged in the intangible,
the taste for abstraction, the formal, the energetic, the sensitive.
The work is articulated around the ideas of confusion and multi-directionality in relation to the other - in an attempt to be attentive, caring, hypersensitive, and generous.
With the idea of reacting collaboratively to a world that is more and more fragmented.
With the idea of elaborating trajectories whose destinations are in constant re-invention.
With the idea of encouraging the singularities and the nuances of our dancing bodies, in a space where community makes sense.
Alonia is a collaborative creation with the dancers, Manuel Roque, Emanuelle Bourassa Beaudouin, Pablo Geeraert, Hannah Fisher, Tim Rodriguez. Also, it is dedicated to Lucie Boissinot.
