February 4, 2009. Toronto, ON – Dancer and choreographer Barbara Lindenberg's latest project, A True Lady of Mystery, will take place at the Tranzac Main Hall over two Mondays – February 16 & 23.
A collection of seven pieces for eight dancers, A True Lady of Mystery is imbued with dream imagery and stories from Lindenberg's past. She credits her subconscious with helping to create the dances, abstract pieces that take a non-narrative shape: "Dreams, random moments and images from my past – I use these things to find movement that intrigues me," Lindenberg says.
A True Lady of Mystery has been two years in the making. Lindenberg, a co-founder of Toronto's innovative Up Darling collective, started by creating each of the seven dances as solos, and has worked over the past several months to turn them into group pieces.
Along with Lindenberg, fellow Toronto dancers Corrin Adams, Andrya Duff, Lara Ebata, Mairéad Filgate, Natalie Fullerton, Meredith Thompson, and Holly Treddenick form the cast of A True Lady of Mystery, with musical accompaniment and performances by local musicians Jennifer Castle (voice, guitar), Jonathan Adjemian (piano), and Jason Benoit (banjo).
Lindenberg's previous works have 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.
The Tranzac is at 292 Brunswick Avenue. Tickets for A True Lady of Mystery will be available for $15 at the door the night of each performance.
