Canadian Dance Collective
Platform 33 is a collective of hotshot dancers – Shannon Cooney and Julia Aplin from Toronto’s Dancemakers and Vancouver-based Susan Elliott. Replacing a pregnant Aplin for this debut outing was Dancemakers’ Linnea Swan. The new work presented at the Harbourfront Centre Theatre was created over a long period of working with three choreographers – Damian Muñoz from Barcelona, Montréal’s Louise Bedard and Kim Itoh from Japan – both in Toronto and abroad. Dancer-driven creation is a rarity but Platform 33 was created to address just that.
