Thok by Roger Sinha

presented Monday, October 31st at 7:30 pm on Bravo

THOK, choreographed by Roger Sinha, will be presented Monday, October 31st on BRAVO at 7:30 pm. Directed by Albert Gérard and produced by Cinéma 3180 B.E., this riveting choreography will be featured in Dance With Me, a series showcasing Québec-based dance companies performing in unique environments.

Filmed within the Eco-Musée du Fier-Monde, dancers Sophie Lavigne, Magdalena Nowecka and Sinha himself, transport the senses to a universe rich in sound and the beauty of gesture. The skin of the dancers and the sounds provided by metallic chimes installed on the bodies of the dancers, melt together with the iron and wood surfaces of the museum in a tight net of communication

Since its creation in Montreal in 2003, THOK has been very successful for Sinha Danse, having toured across Canada and having been nominated for a Dora for best choreography in the 2004 CanAsian Dance Festival presentation of Sinha Danse. The popularity of this trio can be attributed to the unique dance vocabulary that mixes contemporary and classical Indian dance.

Roger Sinha is Artistic Director of Sinha Danse, founded in 1991. Company works include the exquisite solo Loha (2001) as well as Apricot Trees Exist (2005), Sinha’s latest creation.
