Spotlight From barrio to barre Growing up as a b-boy on the streets of Los Angeles, Victor Quijada never thought of Hip-Hop as an art form.
“That’s just what we were, we were hip-hoppers,” he says. “It wasn’t something we went to the dance studio to do. It was just the way that we moved, the way we talked, the music we listened to, the way we dressed, the way that we expressed ourselves.” Back then, Quijada danced to get attention. A few years later, he enrolled at Los Angeles County High School for the Arts, and he learned about dance’s potential to change the world. “It was a very amazing moment for me to kind of realize that maybe my dancing … could possibly have the power to do more than what I was using it for,” he says. As a young adult, Quijada showed so much artistic potential that no less a figure than Twyla Tharp admitted him to her company—despite his total lack of ballet experience. He spent his early 20s practicing at the barre by day and ducking into clubs by night, wondering whether he could someday merge his two passions. And that’s how, in 2002, RUBBERBANDance was born. “It’s not just a cut-and-paste of ballet vocabulary, hiphop vocabulary or break vocabulary,” says Quijada of his Montreal-based company, which performs mostly his own choreography. “It’s … everything that I’ve known and experienced to this moment.” Quijada’s company admits dancers with wildly different backgrounds, styles and stories. They identify as Latin American, Asian, African American and First Nations. Some, like Quijada, come from the streets, while others are classically trained. The idea, says Quijada, is that everybody’s background is equally valuable to the company—because it lends the troupe a style and stage presence seen nowhere else. “The surprise is in how [Quijada] combines things, and in the weightless, unaccented but deeply virtuosic content and phrasing of his dances,” says the Vancouver Sun. “Here is a true original.” RUBBERBANDance

RUBBERBANDance Vic’s Mix March 24, 2018
RUBBERBANDance: MARCH 24, 2018
RUBBERBANDance VIC’S MIX
The fruit of a unique meeting between classical ballet and 1990s West Coast hip-hop, RUBBERBANDance Group has been redrawing the boundaries of contemporary dance with its singular language for the past 15 years. Sometimes humorous, at times emotional, Vic’s Mix spans the immense creative territory of Victor Quijada, extracting a number of jewels from the choreographer’s repertoire. Remixing his own work and orchestrating the clash of urban pop and classical composition, Quijada continues to experiment here, challenging notions of theatricality and audience reception, ensuring that each of the bodies moving onstage in these highly athletic tableaus exemplifies the RUBBERBANDance Method. A reflection of the freedom and openness of the ebullient Montreal dance scene, Vic's Mix is sure to astonish by its stylistic breadth. Runtime is 75 minutes with one 15-minute intermission.

RUBBERBANDance: MARCH 24, 2018
The Company In RBDG, Victor Quijada reconciles the two poles that inhabit him: the spontaneity, risk and fearlessness of the hip-hop culture of the American West Coast where he grew up, and the choreographic refinement of contemporary dance, the milieu in which he developed as a professional dancer. The revolutionary character of the aesthetic Quijada has created is illustrated in more than 20 works during 15 years of artistic research. Imbued with the inherent independence of the street and a sharply perceptive sense of staging, his choreographies explore human relations, particularly focusing on the passion of obsession, the brutality of violence, and the delicacy needed for tragedy and comedy. With his street-dancer sensibility intact, Quijada seeks to integrate the spontaneity of hip-hop circles into stage performance and break down the barrier between performers and audience. Besides his performance and film works, Quijada has developed a training program, the RUBBERBAND Method, that prepares professional dancers for the choreographic requirements of the company. This program initiates dancers to the hybridity of a movement influenced by both urban and contemporary dance while emphasizing interpretation, decision-making, rhythmic variations and partnering. Workshops and lecture presentations are offered regularly during company tours.
VICTOR QUIJADA, FOUNDER AND CHOREOGRAPHER
Victor Quijada eloquently reimagines and deconstructs choreographic principles to integrate them into the hip-hop ideology of his beginnings, examining humanity through a unique fusion of different aesthetic approaches. In the subversion of commonplace reality, his creative tools range from theatrical interpretation and improvisation to the visual imagery of film. A polyvalent, prolific dancer, at the age of 26, he moved from the hip-hop clubs of his native Los Angeles to a career with the finest post-modern dance and ballet companies, notably THARP!, Ballet Tech and Les Grands Ballets Canadiens de Montréal. Since his founding of RUBBERBANDance Group in 2002, Quijada has created 24 pieces of varying length, some for RBDG and others for commissions, and has taken his work all over North America and Europe, as well as to Mexico and Japan. He participated in the making of a dozen films, either as choreographer, director or dramaturge. Quijada received the Bonnie Bird North American Award and the Peter Darrell Choreography Award in 2003, the OQAJ/RIDEAU Prize in 2009, and a Princess Grace Awards Choreographic Fellowship in 2010; this was followed by a second PGF prize, the Works in Progress Residency Award, in 2016. In 2017, Quijada won the prize for Cultural Diversity in Dance at Les Prix de la Danse de Montréal. From 2007 to 2011, he was artist in residence at the Cinquième Salle of Place des Arts de Montréal. He was asked to teach during the 2015-2016, 2016-2017 and 20172018 seasons at the Kaufman School of Dance of the University of Southern California.

Yan Lee Chan began studying lighting design and subsequently earned a degree in stage management and technical direction in the theatre arts program at Cégep de Saint-Hyacinthe. He worked in Europe, assisting Olivier Duplessis and other dance artists before settling down in Montreal, where he has worked in the performing arts for more than a decade. Beginning in his early teens, Chan performed as a sleight-of-hand magician; he has brilliantly applied these skills to lighting concepts that create stage illusions. He has collaborated with many Canadian choreographers and performing arts companies, including Sonya Biernath, Lin Snelling, Bill Coleman, Andrew de Lotbinière Harwood, Nicole Mion, Stéphan Gladyszewsky, Jenn Goodwin, Pamela Newell, Hélène Langevin, Momentum, Théâtre du Grand Jour, Théâtre du Rideau Vert, Ondinnok and Pigeons International. He began his relationship with RBDG as a lighting designer in 2003, and became the company’s technical director in 2009. This close collaboration has led Chan to accompany Victor Quijada in various commissions, notably with Hubbard Street Dance Chicago, Pacific Northwest Ballet and Scottish Dance Theatre.
JASPER GAHUNIA (AKA DJ LIL' JAZ, ELJAY II), MUSIC COMPOSER
Jasper Gahunia is a DJ, producer, songwriter, musician and teacher. He began his career in the mid 90s as a specialized DJ (turntablist), winning the Toronto DMC DJ competition title three times and becoming the Canadian DMC Champion in 1998. During this period, he also shared the International Turntablist Federation (ITF) Western Hemisphere Team title with his crew, Turnstylez; he became ITF World Beat Juggling Champ a year later. Gahunia has graced stages worldwide as a DJ and keyboardist with Nelly Furtado and K-OS. At Toronto's Royal Conservatory of Music, where he graduated with a degree in piano, Gahunia currently teaches the first-ever Scratch from Scratch: DJ Fundamentals course. He has also collaborated with the Canadian Opera Company in the production of a series of mini-operas fused with hip-hop beats and scratching, and created the musical score for many of RBDG's stage productions and commissions carried out by Victor Quijada.

CAMILLE THIBAULT-BÉDARD, COSTUME DESIGN
After graduating in fashion design from Collège LaSalle, Thibault-Bédard began her career as a seamstress for several Montreal companies, until her fascination for body lines drew her to create made-to-measure clothes. In 2010, she met Liz Vandal, which led to costumemaking postiions at La La La Human Steps, Compagnie Marie Chouinard, Washington Ballet and Cirque Éloize as assistant designer and seamstress. As a costume designer, ThibaultBédard has collaborated with Manon Oligny (Boire le bouillon de onze heures, 2009; Icônes, À VENDRE, 2011), Marie-Hélène Panisset (Sublime, 2013), David Pressault (Mûre, 2012; A Melancholic Journal, 2013), Nancy Gloutnez (Débile Métal, 2014) and Les 7 Doigts de la Main (Triptyque, 2015). Thibault-Bédard’s artistic path has taken her into the fashion world as much as into the dance world. Working with emerging young designers such as Betina Lou, Bon Vivant and Christian L’enfant Roi, her two fields of expertise are closely linked in her perpetual study of clothing the body in movement.

Spotlight Baroque Brilliance
Photo by Tatiana Daubek
Fake news wasn’t born yesterday. In fact, it’s been around as long as humans have. Nearly 300 years before this hot topic appeared all over TV, newspapers and social media, George Frideric Handel wrote an opera about the consequences of spreading lies. In “Ariodante,” Princess Ginevra resists the advances of the powerful Duke Polinesso—and the duke gets his revenge by telling everyone that the princess has been unfaithful to her true love. “The story is modern and relevant,” says Eklund Opera Director Leigh Holman. “It’s about a young woman who is subjected to public shaming because she rejected a man, and the rumors hurt not only her but also many of those around her. Given the public shaming and revenge that takes place on social media these days, this opera feels surprisingly modern.” “Ariodante,” running April 26-29 in CU Boulder’s Music Theatre, is just one of many chances audiences have to hear baroque brilliance on campus this season. A monthslong early music celebration kicks off in February with a free Faculty Tuesday performance by Elizabeth Farr, who performs some of her favorite harpsichord music from 17th- and
18th-century masters. Then, in early April, CU’s Early Music Ensemble tackles a variety of works from the 16th through 18th centuries. And on Friday, April 20, the Artist Series concludes with a visit from Quicksilver Baroque Ensemble. The game-changing chamber group, “revered like rock stars within the early music scene” (The New York Times), is set to perform hidden gems by Castello, Merula and other long-forgotten 17th-century composers. Though baroque music is hundreds of years old, Holman says, “it sounds new to our romantically inclined ears.” Our popular culture, she explains, is inundated with classical music that’s lush and moody—think Rachmaninoff and Debussy—so the sounds of the baroque seem refreshingly light, bright and rhythmic. “The music actually sounds ‘popular,’ in a sense, and I think that’s why it appeals to so many 18- to 30-year-olds,” Holman says. “It has pulsation and movement. It’s as alive as a beating heart.” Early Music Ensemble
