Through Glass and Water

Barbara Lindenberg will revisit an old favourite. Through Glass and Water is a contemporary dance about mirrors, movement, and haunting images of the past. It will be the first time Barbara will perform this dance outdoors. The cheerfulness of the park and the dark yet subtle drama of the dance should prove an interesting contrast.

Barbara Lindenberg trained in Dance at York University (graduation 2001) and has been performing, producing and creating in this medium, in Toronto, since then. Born in Manitoba, raised in BC, her work is influenced by music, art, travels and other common and uncommon experiences.

She has been developing an extensive and intimate solo repertoire while exploring larger conceptual group choreographies. Her work has been presented at Nuit Blanche Toronto 2007, Dance Matters (Risky Business and Rebel Yells), A Month of Sundays, Up Darling, Fringe Shanghai, the wHole Exhibition (AWOL Gallery), Series 808 Season Finale and Lab Cab Festival.

Ms Lindenberg has studied a variety of approaches to dance with artists in Canada, Germany, Spain and Italy. She has performed work by Learie McNicolls, Sara Porter, Magali Charrier (film: Tralala), Denise Duric, Aimée Dawn Robinson, Jenny-Ann McCowan, and Hope Terry.
