"Warfare", a DanceWorks co-presentation created by ASM Dance, in collaboration with Odd Opera and Pandora Music was presented at the DanceMaker's Theatre in the Distillery District, Toronto June 24 & 25 2010. This video clip is from a section entitled "Ad | ICT | SHUN". Choreography by Jasmyn Fyffe. Music by Michelle Righetti, Laura-Beth Gray, Stephen Targett. Featured Soloist is dancer Kathy Lewis.
In her review of "Warfare", Art & Culture Maven called the music "inspired and expressive", saying that (the) "Musical accompaniment was inspired and expressive, including original compositions that I'd describe as melodic avant garde and odd instruments I couldn't place (something like a horn with strings that's played also as percussion?) Original pieces by ODD Opera and Pangea Sound Collective also use rhythmic whispers and operatic singing in a multi-layered web that was more than a simple backdrop to the dancers.
The various threads of dramaturgy and music come together in the talents of dancers who made the piece look effortless. Its multi-pronged approach works on all levels for performance I found quite absorbing."
