Biography
Vazari Dance Projects (VDP) is focused on collaborative approaches to movement-based performance. Since its inception in 2014, Vazari Dance Projects has grown to establish itself as a uniquely multidisciplinary company rooted in dance. Direct, emotive, and intelligent movement is used alongside text and design to reflect or distort reality, creating sacred spaces for reflection on a possible world. Through this we aim to share the collective experience of our bodies and our infinite curiosity. Coordinated and curated by Artistic Director Jessie Garon, the company is comprised of critically acclaimed artists from a spectrum of mediums sharing a common sensibility and a desire to work collaboratively. Currently the activities of Vazari Dance Projects are centered around the the creation, production, distribution and promotion of the artistic work of Jessie Garon and other involved artists as well as the production of annual community based events. VDP has presented work at various platforms within Toronto including: SummerWorks Performance Festival, The FreshBlood Series, Dance Matters, and The LabCab Festival. In 2014, VDP performed as part of the Annual Alberta Dance Festival in Calgary. The company has received residencies at The Winchester Street Theatre in Toronto and The Centre for Movement Arts in Calgary
