๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ until โDeep ENDโ is on stage in Regina! Some words from , an original cast member:
โMeghannโs work demands agile athleticism, a willingness to encounter discomfort and your own edges, and complete presence. In each work, there is a process of relinquishing control, allowing the body to speak from its innermost and primal layers, and at some point, some sort of release. Iโve been working with Meghann since 2018 now, and in certain ways, I have grown up as an interpreter and a person inside of her choreographies. The energy of her rehearsals is vibrant and driving โ she demands a certain level of specificity and detail, and as a result, the process is always both challenging and completely fulfilling. Dance feels unarguably important and purposeful within the walls of these Calgary studio spaces. Having the opportunity to be inside of Deep END for the third time and over the course of 3 years is extremely special โ the closer I get to feeling like I know the work, the more I know I must expect the unexpectedโฆ Ride the wave, baby.โ

Sylvie Moquin is an original cast member of โ๐๐๐๐ฉ ๐๐๐โ and one of Project InTandemโs Artistic Directors. Hereโs what she has to say about the work:
โI love process and have so many vivid memories from the initial creation phases of this work. It is a work that asks you to dig a little deeper every time you dance it. Iโm excited for more audiences to dive into the deep end with us!โ
During โs upcoming tour to Regina, SK and Canmore, AB, Sylvie will be a rehearsal assistant for the remount of โDeep ENDโ as she awaits the arrival of a baby, in fall 2023! โจ

Anddddd itโs over.
A decade of dreaming it, Two years of planning, A spread out process, Then 9-weeks rehearsing full time, To finish with 2 shows!
Wow it takes a village yโallโฆ we are pleased to say we employed over 20 people with this production both on stage and behind the scenes. We canโt say thank you enough to everyone on our team fulfilling our vision and making Project InTandem another success.
What you saw on stage took many many hours from so many beautiful minds and we are beyond grateful! ๐
Thank you to ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ for supporting us on this journey, as we continue to develop our practice in YYC. Your comments & energy after the show encourage us to keep pushing and to know that our efforts are valued ๐ค
Also, Thank you to Springboard & the Fluid Fest for this partnership and investing in YYC artists. And HUGE thank you to our funders: Canada Council for the Arts & Calgary Arts Development. .council
We had to work our butts off for this and we are so proud of what we accomplished. Side bar note.. If you ever wonder what itโs like to produce something like this - itโs 12+ hour days for months on end to produce and dance in a show of this capacity.
Stay tuned as dancer/producer Meghann Michalsky] is writing a blog about post show blues. This is rarely talked about in our sector and something we believe needs more light shed on it as all the artists involved recover.
