About This Show

Fast Forward provides opportunities for choreographers working in all dance forms to workshop 25 – 35 min pieces on a shared bill curated around a theme.

In September, Fast Forward’s theme is “Who is In-charge?.” Hanna Q Dance Company will present Little Red Riding Hood and Delineation Dance Company will present Assent.

Little Red Riding Hood (Hanna Q Dance Company)
Choreography by Johanna LjungQvist- Brinson
Little Red Riding Hood uncovers that which lies beneath our sexual disguises. Little Red’s binding innocence is not enough to contain her physical awakening when loose in the forest. A Wolf, passing for a man, grapples with loneliness all the while expanding more energy hiding this struggle from the outside world. A Hunter ambushed by love, is unwilling to kill that which society expects him to. As such, the cast is unified by fragmented psyches.  A story  retold with choreography by Johanna LjungQvist- Brinson, and music by Stephane Le Gouvello and Elliot Moss, Little Red Riding Hood strips down the timeless tale of what befalls us when we find ourselves lost in the woods.

Assent (Delineation Dance Company)
Choreography by Devon Smith
Assent is a contemporary fusion work inspired by the futuristic concept of a society being forced to morph into carbon copies of one another and the struggle to keep your own identity.
