Louise Lacavalier is a soldier, indeed. What she has done to her body on the dance floor, via operations so she can keep dancing, is a service to her audience. Seeing her move was a pleasure but the choreography in Children left me perplexed. From the playful animal-like entrance on all fours I saw the dancers moving in pure child. The intermittent siren implied a parental control signalling

Krista your article makes me shiver because it hits the experience on the mark. I'm so lucky I got to see the piece twice because once just wasn't enough. It's a piece with intensity, energy and emotion that is unparalled. It was a visceral experience for me and I could feel the raw energy emanating from the stage.

I am curious about how to translate Louise Lacavalier'

I imagine there is little more I could say in contrast to the praise that has already been bestowed upon Lecavalier and the work that was shown last week within World Stage's season. More than anything, Lecavalier's ability to flit between each movement, her agility and speed: these were almost non-human. During talk-back, Lecavalier spoke of being interested less in the form or the

I was equally enthralled by this work. Both pieces offered a theatrical experience without resorting to much beyond choreography, music, refined costume and some props. Unlike some of the other dance works we have seen at Harbourfront which, in some cases, layered far more on top of the dance, I felt Louise Lecavalier and her choreographers simplified the work until we, the audience, were left

absolutely stunning! I had seen her work only through television, never in person. I am grateful that I had an opportunity to see her perform live. Thank you!

What an exhilarating experience that was to behold. The energy and precision and artistry quite literally took my breath away at points. It was my first time seeing Mme. Lecavalier's work in person, and I now understand exactly why she has earned her reputation on the World Stage. I agree with much of what you said in your response; especially the resonance and lasting effect of the final

Wow!
