“The real joy of watching MM is its dancers, so fiercely committed to the punishing demands of endurance, strength, and technique…it’s a rare taste of Italian dance” Janet Smith, Georgia Straight

“Everything contributes to exalting technique, perfection, elegance, and the physicality of the dancers – from the choreography, to the scenes to the re—invention of the two classics giving way to great intensity ” The Courier of Novara

MM Contemporary Dance Company, based in Reggio Emilia, Italy regularly performs throughout Europe, Asia and South America, directed by award-winning choreographer Michele Merola.

SCHUBERT FRAMES – Franz Shubert’s extraordinary music interprets the contrasting feelings of love, tension, melancholy, regret, but also hope. A collage of famous beautiful pieces by Schubert is the soundtrack of this work choreographed by Enrico Morelli and danced with the vibrancy of this extraordinary group of dancers.

GERSHWIN SUITES – Michele Merola has created Gershwin Suites, using as soundtrack some of the most captivating of Gershwin’s music as well as a new composition by Stefano Corrias to bring together a rich mosaic of musical scents. Inspired as well by the paintings of Edward Hopper, the work is danced with the versatility and passion which is a true trademark of MM Contemporary Dance.

OPENING For MM Contemporary Dance will be a world premiere choreographed and performed by the BC-based extraordinary dancers Alexis Fletcher and Andrew Bartee, 2019 Chutzpah! Dance Artists in Residence.
