The Dance Centre presents Ne. Sans Opera & Dance/Idan Cohen at the Scotiabank Dance Centre on March 1 at 12 pm as part of Discover Dance! series.

 

ORIGINALLY FROM ISRAEL, a hotbed of contemporary dance, choreographer Idan Cohen formed Ne. Sans Opera & Dance to re-imagine and reconnect contemporary dance and opera, to electrifying effect.

This noonhour performance gives people a rare chance to see the dancers in an intimate setting perform excerpts of recent works set to music by Handel, Bach, and Philip Glass. With accompaniment by pianist/conductor Leslie Dala, the program also features countertenor Shane Hanson.
