Marta Marta HoP

Since 1999, mmHoP's Artistic Director Martha Carter has been developing her own vision of 'style fusion' with the creation of dance, new media and music productions. Transcending her roots from classical music and ballet, Martha's hybrid interdisciplinary performances are the external expression of her vision of dance as a reflection of contemporary life.

Twisted is the newest interdisciplinary creation by Artistic Director Martha Carter about dance, scoliosis and personal transformation. The story is told through monologue, movement, music and visuals, revealing Carter’s touching, yet comedic journey of living with a twisted spine while pursuing a career in dance. Twisted goes beyond the realm of the personal into the universal, speaking on the surface about the perseverance of the human spirit, and on a more profound level as a metaphor for human existence in the face of a chaotic universe.

Twisted Moments: Photography by Steven Lemay

March 9-April 29, 2009
The Scotiabank Dance Centre
677 Davie Street
Vancouver BC

Vancouver photographer Steven Lemay presents this collection of images that were selected from hundreds of photos created during two publicity shoots for Martha Carter and mmHoP’s production ‘TWISTED, A Twisted tale of transformation’ premiering April 1-4, 2009 in the Faris Studio. Innovating with the external and internal body, Lemay finds the tension and beauty between the real and surreal, visible and invisible, movement and stillness, symmetry and asymmetry.

Performers: Martha Carter, Katy Harris-McLeod, Jennifer McLeish-Lewis, Jennifer Oleksiuk and Alisoun Payne.

Martha goes to the ROCK

From December 5-10, 2008 Martha will be returning to Neighbourhood Dance Works in St. John's Newfoundland to teach some creative workshops and mentor local choreographers. Martha is also thrilled to be presenting the premiere screening of mmHoP's newest performance documentary iDUB : St. John's featuring mmHoP, the East Rock Crew and other local dancers. This film traces the evolution of mmHoP's iDUB: St. John's Residency Project in June 2006 that culminated in the closing performances of The Festival of New Dance. This film, directed by Carter and edited by Tim Loubier, is dedicated to the memory of Larisa Fayad who was TD and Lighting Designer for the project.

Stay tuned for clips on this website plus a Vancouver screening soon!
