Kendra’s Personal BlogNow that the Fringe is over I have been going through some major withdrawal. Luckily, I have some video that I was able to put together in a little trailer for the show! Lots of news coming up soon, so stay tuned for more on what’s to come next. In the meantime check it out here….
I first choreographed a piece for The Bazaar -Latin Fever called Heartbeat in February earlier this year and it was a piece about relationships. About how sometimes we stay in a relationships that are not good for us. How we can blind ourselves to the reality of a situation and what is really going on around us.
Daniel, Ashley and I all collaborated on this quite extensively since this was my first duet and I was diving into a dance world that was unknown to me (the tango). Daniel and I met with Michelle Mitchell of Rhythm Dynamix Dance in Oshawa and then we went back to the studio in Toronto to create our first version of Heartbeat.
Later I adapted Heartbeat to become the Venus section of our first full length production Eternal Eclipse. I really wanted to put a twist on the idea of the goddess of love. So we went back into the studio and I wanted to make it a little more darker, to flush out some more of the ideas I had for the dance. The dancers worked fabulously on this and I am very happy with this piece reworked.
Here is the final piece:
Kinetic Elements is a part of the 2010 Toronto Fringe Festival and we are looking for people to help us hit the streets and get the word out about Eternal Eclipse! We need people to hand out buttons, flyers and to help us get the posters out. If you are interested please contact Kendra here: kendra@kendrahughes.com.
Rehearsals are fully under way for our production of Eternal Eclipse and we working hard, but we manage to have a little fun while we are at it 
Check out the video on youtube:
We hope to see you at the Fringe! Find out who is victorious…. Hilary or Kaylan!
