About the work:
Inspired by the seemingly limitless possibilities and co-operative relationships within animal and plant life, Sensory Life, Infinite World, is a glimpse into a conceptual and supportive ecosystem that functions with harmony, co-existence and fluid interchange. The viewer is welcomed into an imagined utopia where life is poetically lived by invented organisms without the framing of our regulated time, the dominant pull of gravity or the constant weight today’s modern society. An invitation to view and appreciate a transformation of the human form as it reveals a pure and intuitive intelligence while accepting a ripple effect felt through embracing relationships and foreign matter.
This new work marks Jolene’s ten year career of presenting and producing solo work and the evolution of her dance company.
Sensory Life, Infinite World is Jolene’s first full-length ensemble work. This ensemble work has organically grown from the fantastical world of Switchback, Jolene’s signature work. Inspired by insect imagery and the life cycle, Switchback was created as a glimpse into the daily life cycle of an imagined creature. Switchback has been presented on over 100 occasions and met with enthusiastic critical acclaim in New York City, Toronto, Montreal, Edmonton, Victoria and Vancouver.
