Dear Patrons, DETERMINED AND GRATEFUL – This is how we feel at TITAS/DANCE UNBOUND as we return to ‘LIVE’ performances. Commitment, Innovation and Curation is what sets TITAS/DANCE UNBOUND apart.

Dance is such a special art form. Athletic, inspiring and surprising – Time and time again, these are the words we hear from audience members. For four decades, TITAS/DANCE UNBOUND presents the most innovative and remarkable dance artists touring the world today. First-time audience members say they had no idea dance was so cool, something our longtime subscribers have always known.

As we leave the fog of lock-down and we return to live performances, the 2021:22 season won’t disappoint. Creative, soulful and breathtaking imagery makes this a very special season of dance companies. We proudly return to the LIVE experience with a season of seven extraordinary companies from Canada and the United States. It is a season rich in creativity and soul-stirring performances.

Success is rooted in collaboration. Together, TITAS/DANCE UNBOUND and the AT&T Performing Arts Center are dedicated to “safely” cultivating talent, new work, and advancing the Arts in our ever-expanding cultural landscape.

We are committed to supporting a collaborative community that fosters the creative process. We are building Blended Audiences by bringing the world to Dallas. Thank you for actively engaging in the Arts, and for being a part of the TITAS/DANCE UNBOUND and AT&T Performing Arts Center families.

Finally, this season we introduce our new series within a series, TITAS/UNFILTERED. This series has the tagline, "If you're easily offended, don't come." We recognized that not all art is for everyone, but our audience needs to have the option to see great art that might be somewhat controversial. Our UNFILTERED series is dedicated to "Risk," and we are thrilled to add these more progressive works to our profile.

What we do together, truly does make a difference.

Sincerely,

Charles Santos, Executive Director/Artistic Director TITAS/DANCE UNBOUND

PROGRAM EVER SO SLIGHTLY (2018) In a crisis, in the midst of extreme anxiety, where and how do we find the calm needed to confront the situation?

Ever So Slightly explores the behavioural mechanisms and reflexes we develop against the ceaseless flow of irritants that bombard us in our daily lives. Most of us long for calm and resilience, but how do we get to a zone where noise and aggressivity no longer have a place? Simultaneously delivering delicacy, brutality, finesse, and high-voltage action, the choreographer conveys all the energy contained in urgency, revolt, chaos, and flight.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The premiere of Ever So Slightly took place in December 2018 at Théâtre Maisonneuve of Place des Arts, in Montreal.

Ever So Slightly is coproduced by Danse Danse, Société de la Place des Arts, Théâtre Hector-Charland and Global Arts Live. RUBBERBAND benefits from the support of the Canada Council for the Arts, the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec, the Conseil des arts de Montréal and the Ontario Arts Council. RUBBERBAND also benefited from the support of Danse à la Carte and residencies at Place des Arts, Salle Pauline Julien, CCOV - Centre de création O Vertigo and Théâtre Hector-Charland for the creation of Ever So Slightly.

ABOUT THE COMPANY Founded in 2002 by Victor Quijada, RUBBERBAND immediately imposed itself in Canada and abroad as an explosive one-of-a-kind troupe. In its very first year of activity, RBDG brought well-honed forms that deconstructed several principles of urban dance to the stage of Tangente. The company’s work quickly won over audiences and critics: in its end-of-season review, the Montreal daily Le Devoir included both Tender Loving Care and Hasta La Próxima in its pick of the five best dance productions of the year. A second creation cycle followed in 2003 when the company presented Reflections on Movement Particles with the support of Théâtre de L’L in Brussels and the MAI in Montreal. The same year, RBDG presented Elastic Perspective, a grouping of pieces which highlighted the choreographer’s ability to exploit the rebellious aspect of Hip Hop and the richness of narrative movement. This work toured for six years and was performed more than a hundred times.

In 2004, Usine C hosted Quijada and his dancers in a residency which resulted in Slicing Static, a work that was named best dance production of the year by the Montreal cultural weekly, Hour (now Cult MTL). The following year, Anne Plamondon joined Victor Quijada as artistic co-director and occupied this position until 2015. Also in 2005, the company performed in Japan, representing Canada at Expo 2005. RBDG’s renown continued to increase after that and touring opportunities multiplied, with as many performances in the United

States as in Canada, along with frequent tours to Holland, Belgium, and England, where, among other works, sHip sHop Shape Shifting (2006) was presented.

From 2007 to 2011, the Cinquième Salle of Place des Arts hosted RBDG in a residency. Four new works were created during that period: Loan Sharking (2007), AV Input/Output (2008), Punto Ciego (2009), and Gravity of Center (2011). During this period, the company gave an average of 40 performances annually. Lecture-demonstrations were developed and instituted as cultural mediation activities following the presentation of each new work. The sessions have been highly successful among presenters who take advantage of this tool to develop their audiences.

In parallel, the company supports the emerging generation of dancers by mentoring and through initiatives such as the Post-Hip-Hop Project, which, in its three successive editions, gave some twenty young artists from the hip-hop scene a first experience of creation and dissemination in a professional framework. In 2013, RBDG presented Empirical Quotient, giving six dancers the opportunity to prove themselves in a complex, very physically demanding choreography—a demonstrable culmination of the RUBBERBAND Method. In 2016, the company brought Vic’s Mix to the stage, a work composed of highlights from its repertoire, a kind of “best-of” encapsulating the organization’s sizzling trajectory from its beginnings.

Along with its many short pieces and special projects, RUBBERBAND has staged 14 full-length productions, tours intensively in Quebec and the rest of Canada, and presents its works on a regular basis in several European countries, Mexico, and the U.S.A. Since 2017, the troupe has comprised ten dancers from diverse backgrounds. Currently, RBDG is touring locally and internationally with Ever So Slightly and Vic’s Mix and is adapting City Threads, its outdoor ambulatory piece for 40 dancers, for presentation in a number of cities.

CHOREOGRAPHER VICTOR QUIJADA: In 17 years, Victor Quijada and his RUBBERBAND have not only redefined breakdance codes within an institutional context and enlivened the Quebec dance scene, but have opened the way for

new creators fascinated by this dance form. Armed with a technique he conceived for dancers, the RUBBERBAND Method – an electrifying vocabulary combining the energy of Hip Hop, the refinement of classical ballet, and the angular quality of contemporary dance – and some 40 creations and collaborations in Canada and abroad behind him, Victor Quijada has always continued to evolve and innovate throughout his prolific career.

Born and raised in Los Angeles, the child of Mexican parents, Victor first danced in the b-boying circles and hip-hop clubs of his native city. He trained with Rudy Perez from 1994 to 1996, then moved to New York City to join THARP! After spending three years with that company and following a stint with Ballets Tech, in 1999, he came to Montreal to join Les Grands Ballets Canadiens in 2000. In 2002, he founded RUBBERBAND, throwing himself into deconstructing the choreographic principles he had learned by blending them with the raw ideology of his street dance origins. His creations – numerous short works and 14 full-length productions – are distinguished by a powerful theatricality, the energy of improvisation, and certain codes of film language, the whole sculpted with an incomparable precision of movement.

For several years now, Victor has taught the RUBBERBAND Method throughout the world in workshops and internships for many dance companies, dance schools, and universities, as well as on a yearly basis in RBDG’s workshop for professional dancers; at the Académie du Domaine Forget in Charlevoix every summer; and in his classes at the Glorya Kaufman School of Dance at the University of Southern California (USC). As guest choreographer, he has created new works for dance and circus companies; notably in return commissions for Hubbard Street Dance Chicago, Pacific Northwest Ballet, and Scottish Dance Theatre.

Besides his stage productions, Victor has been involved in almost a dozen dance films, as director, choreographer, or dramaturge. His short film, Hasta La Próxima, was a finalist at the American Choreography Awards in 2004. He also choreographed the music videos Man I Used to Be by k-os, La garde by Alexandre Désilets, and Elton John’s Blue Wonderful.

His Gravity of Center – The Movie won Best Experimental Short at the

CFC Worldwide Short Film Festival of 2012, among other awards, and was shown at several exhibitions and national and international festivals.

In the area of peer recognition, Victor Quijada was artist-in-residence at Usine C (2004) and at Place des Arts (2007-2011), and has won many awards, including Britain’s National Dance Award for Outstanding Modern Repertory (2003), the Bonnie Bird North American Award (2003, U.K.), the Peter Darrell Choreography Award (2003, U.K.), the International Touring Award of the Canadian Dance Alliance (2012), and two awards from the Princess Grace Foundation-USA (Choreography Fellowship, 2010; Work in Progress Residency, 2016).

In December 2017, Victor Quijada received the award for cultural diversity at the Prix de la danse de Montréal.

THE DANCERS JEAN BUI studied visual art and urbanism before deciding to explore the artistic and athletic potential of the human body through parkour and the circus arts. After general training for the circus in 2011, he completed the contemporary dance program at UQAM. He has worked with George Stamos, Manuel Roque, Katya Montaignac, and Maud Saint-Germain, and has appeared in music and promotional videos, television series, and feature films. He joined RUBBERBAND in 2015.

DANIELA JEZERINAC grew up in Mississauga, Ontario, where she began dancing at a local studio. At the age of 15, she became a company member of Canadian Contemporary Dance Theatre, where she stayed for three years. Upon her training there, she performed works by José Limón, Colin Connor, Kevin Wynn, Robert Glumbek, and Ofillio Sindadhino. She is currently finishing her studies at the Conservatory of Dance at SUNY Purchase College in New York. Jezerinac joined RUBBERBAND in 2018.

professional program, where she trained in classical and contemporary dance. Upon graduation, Emma began freelancing for renowned choreographers and companies, such as Les Grands Ballets Canadiens de Montréal, Anne Plamondon Productions, Gioconda Barbuto and Veronique Giasson, among others. Emma-Lynn joined RUBBERBAND in 2021.

JESSICA MUSZYNSKI is a Canadian choreographer and dancer born in Burnaby, BC, where she began training in ballet at the Richmond Academy of Dance, before moving to Calgary, AB in 2012. A growing curiosity in dance led her to become self-taught in Hip Hop and Contemporary by mimicking YouTube videos. In May 2019 she graduated from University of Southern California with a BFA in Dance. During her time at school she had the opportunity to dance in excerpts of works by William Forsythe, Crystal Pite and Victor Quijada. Post-graduation you can find Jessica in a music video for a popular band called half•alive and in Germany performing with Aszure Barton & Artists. She joined RUBBERBAND in September 2019.

JOVICK PAVAJEAU-OROSTEGUI was born in Miami, Florida, and began his formal dance training in Bogotá, Colombia, at the age of 15 under the direction of Jaime Otálora. Later, he attended George Mason University where he received the Kidd/Stearns Dance Talent Scholarship and graduated with a BFA in Dance in 2020. He has attended workshops with RUBBERBAND, VIM VIGOR, David Dorfman Dance and Springboard Danse Montreal under the direction of Alexandra Wells - where he performed work by Lior Lazarof and Johannes Wieland. After graduating in 2020, Jovick moved to New York City where he was an apprentice with David Dorfman Dance. In his time in NYC, he also performed with VIM VIGOR and collaborated with other New York based artists such as Jordan Demetrius Lloyd, Robert Rubama, and Cameron McKinney of Kizuna Dance. Jovick relocated to Montreal in 2021 to join RUBBERBAND.

BRONTË POIRÉ-PREST hails from Montreal, Quebec. She fell in love with the art of movement at Ballet Divertimento, where she started her classical dance training in 2010. She then continued her studies at L’École de danse contemporaine de Montréal, where she had the fortune to work and collaborate with renowned choreographers such as Angélique Willkie, Hélène Blackburn and Alan Lake. Upon leaving school, she was invited

to work with several well-established companies from Montreal such as Van Grimde Corps Secrets, Le Carré des Lombes and as a freelancer for Compagnie Marie Chouinard. Poiré-Prest joined RUBBERBAND in 2018.

JERIMY RIVERA, a native of New York City, practiced gymnastics from an early age, but after several experiences with New York City Ballet, he decided to dedicate himself exclusively to dance. After training with Steps on Broadway, he broadened his stylistic reach to contemporary dance, Hip Hop, jazz ballet, and musical theatre dance. While an adolescent, he studied for two years at the JKO School at American Ballet Theatre under Franco Devita and Raymond Lukens before joining Manhattan Youth Ballet. Rivera continued his training at The French Academie of Ballet under François Perron and Nadège Hottier; in 2012, he toured with West Side Story – The Musical. In 2013, he moved to Montreal, where he danced with Les Grands Ballets canadiens for four years. Rivera joined RUBBERBAND in 2017.

ADÈLE ROSS is a Montreal-native multidisciplinary artist who started her training by exploring contemporary dance, hip-hop and jazz. Through hip-hop, she developed a passion that lead her to chose the professional path. She then furthered her training at Ballet Divertimento where she worked with choreographers such as Amélie Rajotte, Christopher Rudd and Owen Montegue. In the spring of 2021, she graduated from The School of Toronto Dance Theatre where she collaborated with many choreographers including Pulga Muchochoma, Alanna Kraaijveld, Michael Caldwell, Roberto Campanella and Peggy Baker. To continue developing herself, Ross took part in different intensives with RUBBERBAND, Gaga People, Kylie Thompson Dance, VIAS, Domaine Forget and the Conexión festival. With Lou Amsellem, she is the co-founder of the collective Horizons which aims to explore contact, environment and sharing. She joined RUBBERBAND in 2021.

RYAN TAYLOR, originally from Colchester, England, was introduced to dance via Hip Hop and breakdancing, joining Battalions Crew and participating frequently in European competitions. Training under Akram Kahn at the National Youth Dance Company inspired him to continue his dance studies at the London Contemporary Dance School where he was taught by Hofesh Shechter, Dane Hurst, and Sasha Roubicek, among other artists. In 2017, dancing in Rosalind by James Cousins Company at Edinburgh Festival

Fringe, he won the award for Best Moment of the Festival. Taylor joined RUBBERBAND in 2017.

PACO ZIEL began studying music and art at age 12 at the Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes in Mexico, his country of origin.

He worked in Europe, assisting Olivier Duplessis and other dance artists before settling in Montreal, where he has worked in the performing arts for over a decade.

He began his relationship with RBDG as a lighting designer in 2003, becoming the company’s technical director in 2009.

He began his career in the mid-nineties as a specialized DJ (turntablist), winning the Toronto DMC DJ competition title three times and becoming the Canadian DMC Champion in 1998.
