**Toronto Dance Community Love-In in partnership with TDT presents: You Can’t Take It With You by Liz Kinoshita**

About the Work

Liz Kinoshita is inspired by her relationship to necessity vs. waste and the weight it bears upon us, physically, mentally and emotionally. In You Can’t Take It With You she investigates within dance and musicality, what we need to survive, and what we need to discard in order to sustain ourselves and our environments. The weight and momentum of the piece are driven by dancing, singing performers: by pushing the tempos, tensions and expectations in the room, they provoke possible new angles and energy to explored problems.

Liz Kinoshita has been working on her own choreographic proposals with Justin F. Kennedy, Clinton Stringer and Salka Ardal Rosengren since 2013, and with Vincent Jonsson and Bryana Fritz since 2016. They work very collaboratively and Liz is honoured to spend time with these performers in both the creation process as well as on stage. As such, they are excited to share the creative ideas this cast brings with them as well as the performance You Can’t Take It With You on this transnational tour of Canada in 2022, presented by a special network of partners including Springboard Performance’s Fluid Festival in Calgary (AB), Art Holm and Young Lungs Dance Exchange in Winnipeg (MA), and Live Arts and SiNS in Halifax (NS), and we acknowledge the generous support of the Canada Council of the Arts.

In 2017 Liz premiered Radical Empathy (commissioned by Den Danske Scenekunstskole) and You Can’t Take It With You, an in-the-round performance about waste vs necessity. Liz was part of the artistic team for West Side Story on Broadway, choreographed by Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker and directed by Ivo van Hove. Liz’s new creation 11 O’clock is set to be shared on stage and screen in 2021-2023.
