Jump Cut, Episode 1
Animals of Distinction
The inaugural episode features Dana Gingras (Montreal), Sonya Stefan (Montreal) and Tot Onyx (Berlin). Restless and confined, they have created an eerie offering. Set in a lost space that leads nowhere, it is filled with disembodied and embodied presences that roam, taunt and multiply each other across planes.
Dana Gingras, Sonya Stefan and Tot Onyx (with group A) first collaborated in 2018 on the live performance piece, anOther. Set within installation of televisions; sound, light and image converge to create an exhilarating event placing a living, breathing and transmuting body at the heart of the experience.
“This jewel of experimental choreography will thrill visual art and underground music aficionados.”

Jump Cut, Episode #2
Animals of Distinction
The second episode for the series will feature Montreal based electronic musician Marie Davidson, Paris based Canadian video artist Sabrina Ratté and Montreal based choreographer/dancer Dana Gingras. Treating the body like a living sculpture, the emphasis will be on capturing the minutiae of movement and morphing the human body back and forth between a virtual body. This dialogue will be coupled with sound to create a sense of an altered corporeal reality.
