From press release:

Human Atoms & Tracey Norman in association with the Toronto Fringe Festival present

no permanent answers

Highly physical and with a unique perspective on contemporary dance, no permanent answers invites the audience to witness the entangled events that our lives present us with: seemingly unrelated incidents that have more in common than one would think; brief encounters with lasting impacts; and the conclusion that permanent answers don’t exist.

Human Atoms and Tracey Norman have teamed up to present the world premiere of two intricate choreographies at the Toronto Fringe Festival, 2013.

Described as “refreshing and original” (Paula Citron, The Globe and Mail) Norman shares a quartet interpreted by Beth Despres, Brittany Duggan, Marie France Forcier and Sky Fairchild-Waller. The work allows the viewer to reconsider the nature of human encounters, the impact of a moment spent together, and the delicate existence of human relationships. Blumberg’s choreography is a triptych that investigates three seemingly unrelated events: an earthquake and its aftermath, a woman’s sudden loss of memory, and a man’s attempt to find peace within himself. As the choreography evolves subtle links are established revealing reality for what it is: a fragile surface over a chaotic underworld that holds no permanent answers.

 

“Delicately choreographed and intricately performed” (Rachel Martin, MERGE ‘zine),

Blumberg and Norman are exciting emerging voices. Working with lighting designer and stage manager Alex Maitland and composer Augusto Monk, no permanent answers promises to be a highly imaginative, original and refreshing take on contemporary dance.
