mmHoP - Projects
Since 1999, mmHoP’s Artistic Director Martha Carter has been working with dance, music and media artists to present dance as an aesthetic as well as social art form. By innovating with the inherent tension between these two worlds, Carter has created several works where audiences can both observe and participate in the dance, blurring the lines between the visual and the visceral-the intellectual and the experiential. These works were first created for both proscenium stage (The Spell Remains and ri’zilyent: an urban ballet), and black box theatres (Xdance and iDUB in Vancouver, Calgary & St. John’s Nfld), always produced by official dance venues, presenters and festivals, primarily targeting dance and arts audiences. Following these successes, mmHoP has started to adapt their repertory for different kinds of events such as social gatherings, street festivals and cultural celebrations including the following: RIZ @ Dance in Vancouver on the roof of the Dance Centre, MMHOP*SKIP*JUMP @ Whistler, mmHoP @ the MOA MASHUP.
