by donation

MZD Salons | These curated, themed interdisciplinary events will feature some of Edmonton’s most compelling performing artists rarely seen together, with space allowed for the audience to party at the end of each event.

“Iterate” For the Season Opener of De-Program, curated by Trent Crosby, MZD’s Technical Director, plays matchmaker between scenographers and dancers to experiment and explore ideas around creativity in the digital space.

Show Description:
After five years of turning knobs, flipping stages, and checking his phone Mile Zero’s resident Technical Director is stepping out from behind his consoles to bring you an experimental cabaret inspired by his experiences at the 2019 Prague Quadrennial. This experimental cabaret pairs 5 Scenographers with 5 Contemporary Performers to create 5 new short works for Mile Zero Dance’s season opener. A celebration of scenography and contemporary performance, Iterate asks: 'What can we create when design comes first?' and 'How can live design succeed in a digital space?'
