The Alice Odyssey (excerpt)Choreography by
Melanie Kloetzel (Calgary)
with Canadian Contemporary Dance Theatre
Performed by Jessalyn Britton, Francesca Chudnoff, Alexandra Kersley, Jennifer Morse, Natasha Poon Woo, Miya Shaffer and Caileigh Suline The Alice Odyssey (an excerpt) is a dance theatre work that uses athletic feats, an outlandish script, and wild swings of sound to convey the inner turmoil of our favourite childhood stories. Scampering through playful partnering, heavily exaggerated facial gestures, and daring exploits in the setting
of Withrow Park,
The Alice Odyssey examines the strange, and often violent, maelstrom that lurks in children’s fantasy worlds.
