I'm a big fan of sampling, mash-ups and multidisciplinary work, and of animation and dance. So I'm intrigued by tomorrow's premiere of Michel Lemieux and Victor Pilon's
Norman. The creators aim to use projections of
Norman McLaren's work combined with live classic and contemporary dance.
If you're in Ottawa, you can see it on April 26-30 at the National Arts Centre (NAC) during the
Québec Scene festival. A personal viewing station will be set up at NAC with McLaren's work during the course of the festival. After that,
4DArt will stage
Norman in Toronto, throughout Asia, Montreal, and throughout France.
